Harness the power of impedance to shape the character of your microphone
The CL-Z includes all the ultra-clean gain of the original Cloudlifter, plus the innovative Vari-Z control for massive sound shaping. Features include:
• Variable Impedance Control – This “Vari-Z” feature shapes and contours the sound of your ribbon or dynamic microphone.
• Variable High-Pass Filtering – Continuously variable high-pass filtering at -6db per octave works in tandem with the variable impedance control for even greater tonal shaping.
• Variable Gain – Two gain settings (more and max) yield up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for low output dynamic & ribbon microphones.
• Premium Electronics – Patented Class A, discrete JFET circuitry for pristine sound.
• Reduce Feedback – Be heard above the mix on stage with increased gain before feedback.
• Made in the USA – Rugged, road-ready, and portable. Manufactured responsibly in the USA. Free lifetime limited warranty.
