Description

The Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 is a compact mic preamp designed to provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for dynamic, ribbon, and tube microphones. Created in collaboration with Neutrik, this in-line device connects directly to microphones, mixers, preamps, or stage boxes, delivering a stronger signal while maintaining the natural sound of the source. Housed in a custom gold-plated XLR connector, its internal Class-A discrete JFET circuitry gives low-output microphones the lift they need without introducing unwanted noise or coloration.

Built to handle the demands of daily use in studio, broadcast, and live environments, the CL-25 features a wire-free, hard-soldered design that ensures long-term durability. By boosting the signal before it hits the preamp, it helps reduce noise and keeps your gear operating in its most efficient range. The result is a clearer, more accurate representation of your microphone’s sound, especially when working with quiet sources. Hand-assembled in the USA, the CL-25 offers a reliable, portable solution for getting the most out of your favorite mics.
