They have had a massive impact on several sectors within the audio industry including podcasting.
Cloud offers a fantastic range of microphone activators designed to improve the performance of your microphone. The Cloudlifters are powered along the microphone cable, working in line with the phantom power to increase the sensitivity of your microphone and provide an additional 25dB of ultra-clean gain, and reduce feedback.
