Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Z
Joining the single channel model CL-1 and dual-channel CL-2, the CL-Z adds a comprehensive selection of new features.
Compact and portable enough to go anywhere, the unit houses direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry that delivers ultra-clean, transparent performance to preserve the natural sonic characteristics of the source without coloration. The CL-Z features a selection of input impedences ranging from 150 to 15k ohms, and variable high-pass filtering from below 20Hz up to approximately 250Hz. A new adjustable output level (+12, +25dB) makes the CL-Z ideally suited for use with everything from lower output ribbon microphones and dynamic mics on quieter sources to higher output mics used for capturing louder material.
Like every other model in the Cloudlifter product group, the CL-Z also solves problems posed by noisy preamps, and can be used to drive stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making it ideal for both broadcast and live applications. Enclosed in a rugged steel enclosure offering excellent shielding, it is equipped with provisions for stand mounting.

Magic for unusual mics and other impedance puzzles

The cloudlifter z is a piece of magic and has become essential for one of my mics --no going back! It has a wide range of impedance, which is great, though that particular mic is very fussy, and the sweet spot is narrow. Having the range allows a variety of applications. Wish it had been cheaper, but there you go… that's the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever. Solidly built with a simple intuitive design. Oh yeah, one small suggestion: it would have been even nicer if the input side could take both XLR and TS. I had to solder up an little adapter jumper cable for one of my TS applications.
