Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 Mic Activator

Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 inline mic activator plugged directly into microphone XLR connector

The Legendary Cloudlifter Circuit, Now in Your Pocket

You already know what a Cloudlifter does to a low-output mic. The SM7B stops straining. The RE20 opens up. The ribbon breathes. The CL-25 Mini delivers every bit of that same transformation, but in a form factor so compact it disappears directly onto your microphone connector.

Built around the same patented Class-A discrete JFET circuitry that made the CL-1 the go-to gain solution for thousands of engineers, the CL-25 provides up to +25dB of ultra-clean boost with zero tonal coloration. No batteries, no rack space, no cable runs between units. Just plug it onto the mic and the problem is solved.

Built for Daily Abuse in the Real World

The CL-25 was co-engineered with Neutrik specifically because the connector itself is the product. A custom gold-plated Neutrik XLR houses a wire-free, hard-soldered internal circuit designed to survive thousands of insertion cycles without a single point of failure. On a touring stage or in a broadcast rack that sees daily hot-swapping, that matters more than any spec sheet figure.

Circuit design: Patented Class-A Discrete JFET, dual noise-canceling gain stages
Input impedance: 3 kΩ (optimized for dynamic, ribbon, and tube mics)
Phantom power: Requires +48V from preamp or interface; does not pass phantom to the mic
Construction: Solid steel chassis, wire-free hard-soldered circuit
Connector: Custom Neutrik gold-plated XLR (male input / female output)
Form factor: Ultra-compact inline, 6 x 2 cm, 0.04 kg
Manufactured: Handcrafted in the USA (Navajo Nation and Tucson, AZ)

Invisible on Stage, Invaluable in the Mix

Think about what happens when you push a preamp to its upper gain range to compensate for a low-output mic. Noise climbs. Frequency response suffers at the edges. The EQ becomes harder to control cleanly. The CL-25 solves this upstream, boosting the mic signal before it reaches the preamp so your gain stage operates where it was designed to work. The result is a quieter, more detailed signal that your preamp can handle comfortably.

For live engineers, the CL-25 adds one more practical advantage: its low-profile inline design won't pull or stress mic connectors on a stand, and its black finish maintains a low visual profile onstage. For mobile podcasters and location recorders, it means +25dB of professional gain that fits in a jacket pocket alongside the rest of the kit.

Highlights

  • Up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for any passive dynamic, ribbon, or tube microphone
  • Patented Class-A discrete JFET circuitry with dual noise-canceling gain stages, same circuit as the Cloudlifter CL-1
  • 3 kΩ input impedance, optimized for dynamic, tube, and ribbon microphone loading
  • Requires +48V phantom power from preamp or interface; does not pass phantom to the microphone, protecting sensitive ribbon and tube mics
  • Custom Neutrik gold-plated XLR connector (male input / female output): no external cable needed between device and mic
  • Wire-free, hard-soldered internal circuit engineered for thousands of insertion cycles without failure
  • Reduces preamp noise floor and prevents frequency loss caused by operating preamps at extreme gain settings
  • Compatible with mixers, preamps, stage boxes, and wall panels via direct connection
  • Solid steel chassis, ultra-compact inline form factor (6 x 2 cm, 0.04 kg)
  • Black exterior finish for low visual profile in live sound environments
  • Handcrafted in the USA on the Navajo Nation and in Tucson, AZ
  • Limited lifetime warranty (with registration)

Shipping & Returns

  • We deliver all US orders in 3–5 business days
  • Free cancellations
  • Returns accepted within 30 days (unused items)

Order Confirmation

Once your order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation email. This confirms that we have received your order and have pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase. After confirming availability with our suppliers, we will proceed accordingly:

  • If your item is available and ready to ship within 1–2 business days, we will process the charge and arrange for shipment.

  • If your item is on backorder or unavailable, the pre-authorization will be voided and you will be notified by email.

  • Please note: While most items ship out within 1–2 business days, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location and carrier handling.

Order Shipment

If your item is in stock and your payment has been processed, your order will typically ship within 1–2 business days. Total delivery time is approximately 3–5 business days from the date of order. Once shipped, you will receive tracking information at the email address provided during checkout within 24 hours of dispatch.

If you have not received tracking information within 3–5 business days of placing your order, please contact us at support@proaudioreserve.com.

The Distributor-Direct Advantage

To ensure you receive the most recent hardware revisions and 100% factory-sealed units, Pro Audio Reserve utilizes a Distributor-Direct fulfillment model. Unlike big-box retailers that may ship "floor models" or gear that has been sitting in general-purpose warehouses, your equipment is pulled directly from the primary manufacturer hub, serialized, and dispatched. This process ensures the highest level of quality control for professional-grade recording equipment.

Shipping Policy

We currently offer free shipping within the United States only. If the checkout process on our website allows you to enter a shipping address and complete your order, your location is eligible to receive delivery.

Changing Shipping Address

If you need to change your shipping address after your order has been processed or shipped, we will do our best to accommodate the request. Please note that address changes may result in delivery delays. Any additional costs incurred due to address changes, including carrier fees or rerouting charges will be the responsibility of the customer. No exceptions.

Shipping Times

All shipping times provided are estimates and should not be considered guarantees. Most orders ship out within 1–2 business days from the time payment is processed. However, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location, carrier performance, and supplier fulfillment timelines.

We work closely with our vendors to ensure timely deliveries, but please note that supply chain disruptions, high-demand periods, or weather events may occasionally cause delays beyond our control.

  • To avoid misunderstandings: The “shipping time” refers to the total time from order placement to final delivery, not just when the item leaves the warehouse.

  • Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your order because it has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, you may be responsible for applicable shipping charges, restocking fees, warehouse handling costs, and other related fees.

  • Chargebacks: Customers who initiate chargebacks due to shipping delays without contacting us first may be held legally responsible for losses. We strongly encourage open communication so we can resolve any delivery concerns directly and efficiently via our Atlanta-based support team.

Delivery Options

  • Threshold Shipping: Your item will be delivered to your front door, porch, garage, or a covered entryway.
