After some thorough testing, I'm ready to share my experience, which has been largely positive with a slight concern.The Good:Powerful Mic Boost: The Cloudlifter CL-1 does an excellent job of amplifying the microphone signal. It's particularly noticeable with my Shure mic, providing a significant and clean boost in gain. This enhancement is crucial for achieving professional-quality sound in recordings and live streaming. I use it for my YouTube channel. I was thinking about starting a podcast by the way.Build Quality and Ease of Use: The build quality is solid, and it's evident that it's made to last. The simplicity of the Cloudlifter is also a plus and it's pretty much plug-and-play, requiring no additional power source, which is a huge convenience. I dont even think you need a additional power such as the phantom although i do hear a difference.The Concern:Interference with my cell phone: My primary concern, and I'm still trying to pinpoint the exact cause, is that having my phone close to the setup and receiving texts or calls causes audio distortion. I suspect this interference might be related to the Cloudlifter, but it's also possible that the Shure mic is picking up these signals. This issue is something to be aware of, especially in a setup where your phone is an essential part of your workflow. I can assure you that once i move my away from the cludlift , the distorsions stop.Overall Impression:Aside from the interference issue, which I'm still investigating, the Cloudlifter CL-1 has been a great addition to my audio equipment. It delivers on its promise of providing clean, amplified sound, which is a game-changer for mics that need that extra boost. The build quality is great, and its ease of use makes it a valuable tool for both amateurs and professionals. Plug and play .Given the significant improvement in sound quality, I would recommend the Cloudlifter CL-1, but with the caveat of being mindful of potential interference from mobile devices. This might be a minor issue or something more specific to my setup, but it's worth mentioning. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whether you have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen Or a Apollo Twin X. WORTH THE MONEY!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States April 28, 2022* I was hesitant buying this for my Shure SM7B. as you probably know this is a very gain hungry mic. But I wasn't very found of spending another $150 on top of me purchasing a $400 microphone. But man am I glad I bought this. I was using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo as my interface when I purchase the cloudlifter and it worked like a charm. 25db of clean gain just like everyone said. EVEN now I use this with my Apollo Twin x. even though the Apollo has more then enough gain to power this mic. I would have to push my Apollo interface to at least 90% which I wasn't very found of doing over time. now with this cloudlifter I can have the gain on my interface to around 60%. All around, it has great sound, easy to use and great build quality. you wont regret this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug & play and an absolute must have for SM7B *by on Reviewed in the United States October 19, 2025* Literally a must-have if you're using your SM7B for anything professional; voiceovers, work, whatever it may be, you WILL NOT have enough gain without this / without sounding compressed and distant by trying to emulate the effect in software.Feels premium, works great, no issues out of the box, and super easy to set up - literally just plug and play. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-2 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Shure SM7B Microphone - Vocal Dynamic Studio Mic for Broadcast, Podcast, Recording, Gaming & Streaming, XLR, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen, Smooth Sound, Warm Vocals, Wide-Range Frequency - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2918484-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-2-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2918484-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-2-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
