Review: Really good for ribbon mics - I have had one for five years. Use phantom power to 1) preamp for ribbon mic. great preamp with minimal noise-floor where you have to EQ it up a bit in hi mids, and 2) same for all dynamic mics to give you a bit more level to play with. Would recommend unconditionally. for anyone recording with ribbon mics, which I have found makes more forward sound in the mix. Especially good for female vocals and acoustic guitars.
Review: Clean gain and easy to set up - I’ve got two of these now and use them the Shure SM7B mics. I record podcasts for the company I work for and these products give the mics that little boost I need to get solid recordings every time. Super easy to set up, just make sure you can provide them with phantom power. They can be pricey, but having used a fethead and I can safely say these give b superior performance in every environment I find myself in when recording.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean gain and easy to set up

I’ve got two of these now and use them the Shure SM7B mics. I record podcasts for the company I work for and these products give the mics that little boost I need to get solid recordings every time. Super easy to set up, just make sure you can provide them with phantom power.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY, I can sound LOUD!
*by D***I on 26 February 2020*

I've used both a Blue spark mic and a Shure SM7B and both require post production edits to raise the volume. Turning up the gain on my pre-amp simply wouldn't cut it since it introduced the inevitable hiss. I noticed that many people recommended the Cloudlifter and a 'must-have' if you own an SM7B. Since I just bought an SM7B and was witnessing the same need to pump up the volume, I took the plunge. No power is necessary which is a bonus, since it draws the phantom power from the pre-amp and essentially powers itself (and obviously the mic). There's nothing to shout about other than the unit does EXACTLY what it reports to do. It raises the volume of the mic without any unwanted noise. The phantom power is not eradicated using a dynamic mic, it's EMPLOYED - as it should be! The result is that I'm managed to be able to reduce my gain by a quarter on the dial...and no post-production volume changes are necessary! Perfect! This takes away from my workload since I churn out instructional videos by the dozen and something forget that I need to pump up the volume. The unit is solid metal and built like a tank. I imagine this to be the ideal solution fr those people who might use this in the road. though mine is 'on display' lying on its side with the logo showing, the unit has large rubber feet which allows it to sit securely on a desk. The XLR's snap in nicely and firmly. There's shady copies of the cloudlifter on the market for a fraction of the price, but people have stripped them down to see that the 'meat' inside is far inferior in contrast. The copies produce a loud of unwanted noise too. I'm with those people who recommend the cloudlifter for the SM7B, since it works a charm. I see no reason why it wouldn't work great for other dynamic mics too. If you're looking for that boost in volume, just buy one.
