Cloudlifter CL-2

I bought the Cloudlifter 2 after watching a video on YouYube to get the most from my Focus Scarlett USB audio interface. It's undoubtedly a well-built bit of kit and looks good. I set everything up with a friend, and we made some recordings. Neither of us could notice any difference in the quality of the recordings; maybe it would make a difference if you were using very cheap mics, yet if that's the case, you'd be better off buying decent quality mics for less money. The Cloudlifter 2 didn't appear to improve the sound going through our Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface. It only made the setup more complicated with more leads to connect. I haven't used it since; I leave it lying around as it looks cool. I should have sent it back for a refund as it's not needed. I doubt anybody with the funds to afford the Cloudlifter 2 would be using cheap mics that are so bad you need to buy one of these if they were serious about recording. An expensive but not needed gimmick unless you are out to impress someone who doesn't know anything about sound engineering.

It is an excellent product. Just make sure you have DYNAMIC MICS to use with it. It cuts the phantom power from the mixer to amplify it. I just have condensor mics that need the phantom power

Verwende es mit dem Rodecaster Pro für folgende Micros: Rode Procaster und Rode Podmic Es ist wahrscheinlich nicht unbedingt notwendig, aber man stresst die Preamps einfach nicht so sehr und man muss den Gain nicht so aufdrehen. Sehr gute Qualität im Ergebnis. Werde wahrscheinlich noch einen 2. kaufen.

Fantatic product for dynamic microphones!

I wasn't sure when I bought this but I needed something to boost the signal from our microphones. I had to turn the mics up all the way on the PA and gave us no good choices for mixing and the sound wasn't great. Put this in-line with our mics, turned on the phantom power for the mics - and boom! I barely have to turn up the volume on the mics and we can actually hear ourselves and sound amazing out in the audience. It's well made, does what it says it'll do and made a huge difference in our sound - this is the best piece of equipment I've bought in ages!

I am not a professional when it comes to audio stuff but it does what it is supposed to do, make a rather weak signal stronger. The thing that I didn't like was that I had to buy a couple 48V adapters in order to be able to power my two microphones, the audient id14 was not any longer enough to power them when I added cloudfilter.
