Cloudlifter Mic Activators are used by thousands of professionals all over the world to improve the quality of their microphone’s sound. The Cloudlifter Zi incorporates this patented technology and variable impedance control into an active DI for guitar players, bass players, keyboard players and more.
The CL-Zi provides up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for XLR microphones and Lo-Z sources and up to +15dB for 1/4” instruments and other Hi-Z sources, via the Neutrik combination dual-input connector and Hi-Z to Lo-Z CineMag instrument transformer. The Cloudlifter Zi maximizes the instrument or microphone’s signal strength and clarity and lowers the noise floor and amount of gain required from the preamp. The premium CineMag transformer, encased in MU metal for optimal shielding, brings out the natural beauty and character of your instrument, while lowering the impedance to mate perfectly with the Cloudlifter’s patented Vari-Z interface and phantom-powered gain circuit. By allowing your preamps to operate in a more comfortable gain range, the natural frequency response of the microphone or instrument remains intact and the self-noise of the preamp is drastically reduced.
Features: - Compact preamplifier for high-impedance instruments and dynamic and ribbon microphones - Up to 25 dB crystal clear gain for microphones and 12 dB gain for instruments - Variable gain control in three steps: Min, More, Max - Variable input impedance from 150 ohms to 15k ohms - Variable high-pass filter from 20 Hz to 200 Hz - No voltage is passed on connected microphones, sensitive ribbon microphones are accordingly protected against damage - Uses a patented, discreet Class-A circuit - Works with phantom power - Neutrik XLR combination input - XLR output - Robust, roadworthy quality
