Offering the same award-winning circuitry and performance specs as the Cloudlifter CL-1, the Mini CL-25 is a custom engineering collaboration with Neutrik. The ultra-compact in-line design interfaces directly with passive microphones to provide up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain.
Capture Every Detail with a Cloudlifter
Unlock your microphones’ true potential. Cloudlifters dramatically increase the sensitivity of your microphone, fully capturing the nuance and detail of the source. Many of the most incredible sounding microphones typically require the most gain. Ribbon, dynamic and even tube microphones can be difficult to amplify, even with high quality preamps. Previously, it has been difficult to capture very quiet sources with these mics, without hearing noise and frequency loss caused by the preamp being operated in its upper gain range. The detail and nuance, the true character of your mic comes to the foreground with the Cloudlifter. This is in remarkable contrast to the tone achieved by pushing the preamp to its upper gain range to produce a similar level of gain.

The Secret Weapon of Top Producers
Hear it straight from real Cloud fans: Kyle Hoffman of NRG Recording studios reviews the new Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 and shows how they put it to use in their professional recording studio environment.
What microphones do Cloudlifters work with?
Cloudlifters are designed for use with all passive dynamic and ribbon microphones, as well as tube condenser microphones. They utilize +48v phantom power to provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain before reaching the gain staging in your preamp.
How do I use the Cloudlifter Mini?
Place the CL-25 directly into the back of your microphone, in between XLR cables, or on the XLR input of your preamp/interface. Turn down the gain, enable +48v phantom power, then dial up the gain to your desired signal level.
Why choose a Cloudlifter instead of a different mic booster?
Our competitors add color or noise with their boost in gain while our circuits are transparent and clean.
Shure licensed technology from Cloud for the SM7dB’s active circuit because it’s the best!
Where is the Cloudlifter made?
The Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 is made in Arizona, USA with circuit boards produced on the Navajo Reservation.
Who needs a Cloudlifter?
Anyone looking for extra, ultra-clean gain or to protect their ribbon microphones. Cloudlifters are recommended for studio & home engineers, podcasters, musicians, VO and voice actors, ASMR artists, live sound engineers, houses of worship, and more!
