The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 takes the award-winning circuitry of the iconic CL-1 and packages it into a compact, hard-soldered inline chassis. Built in collaboration with Neutrik using gold-plated connectors, the Mini CL-25 plugs directly into microphones, preamps, mixers, or stage boxes to deliver up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain without adding noise or altering the natural tone of your source. Designed to eliminate extra cable runs, the Mini CL-25 mounts straight onto the back of your microphone or preamp input. Powered entirely by standard +48V phantom power, its patented Class-A discrete JFET circuit block converts phantom power into clean gain while preventing phantom power from reaching the microphone. Key Features Up to +25dB of Clean Gain: Dramatically increases microphone output sensitivity without adding THD, coloration, or self-noise. Ultra-Compact In-Line Design: Custom Neutrik gold-plated XLR hardware plugs directly into microphones, stage boxes, or wall panels. Patented Class-A Discrete JFET Circuitry: Directly coupled noise-canceling JFET architecture preserves the natural transient detail and frequency response of the mic. Phantom Power Safe: Runs on standard +48V phantom power but blocks DC voltage pass-through, protecting sensitive ribbon and tube microphones. High-Impedance Load Matching: Presents a ideal 3 kΩ load impedance to passive dynamic and ribbon microphones. Built for Heavy Road Use: Wire-free internal hard-soldered construction housed in a rugged steel chassis, handcrafted in the USA. Technical Specifications Form Factor: Ultra-Compact In-Line Adapter / Mic Activator Gain Range: Up to +25 dB (depending on microphone impedance and load) Circuit Topology: Patented Class-A Discrete JFET Input Impedance: 3 kΩ Power Requirements: +48V Phantom Power (Unit consumes phantom power; does not pass phantom power to the mic) Audio Inputs: 1x XLR Female (Neutrik Gold-Plated Direct Connect) Audio Outputs: 1x XLR Male (Neutrik Gold-Plated Direct Connect) Compatible Microphone Types: Passive Dynamic, Passive Ribbon, Tube Microphones (via PSU output), Battery-Powered Condensers, Passive DIs Enclosure: Heavy-Duty Steel Chassis (Made in the USA)
