Not sure what else I can say. I like it. It's great value. Super easy. Just remember, if your mic needs phantom, this will NOT send phantom through to the mic. Works great on my EV PL-20.

All I can say is "wow!" This thing turned the Sm7B into a whole different beast. You know how people say that you have to "eat" the Sm7B? That's not the case anymore. I can now deliver so much clean gain to the Sm7B that it's getting nearly as sensitive as a condensor! Used with Audient iD14 preamps and with Focusrite Octopre Platinum with AMAZING results! Highly recommended.

The Cloudlifter(TM) does exactly what it is designed to do. The question is - Do you need it? Totally subjective to you and your and your pre-amp quality, plus the microphone(s) you use with it. Check out the many very good reviews on YouTube to help you decide. It is a specialty device and you need to know when and how to use it and when to leave it out of your signal chain. It will truly bring to life a SM-7B, a EV-RE-20, a EV-PL-20, because these are known as low gain dynamic mics. and most any weak ribbon mic I've used it with, not to mention any Dynamic Vocal Microphone like Shure SM57/58s, etc. and many others that could use a little 'wakeup call' if you have weak pre-amps in your recording interface. I have three Cloudlifters - They work well, for me. * IT WILL NOT WORK WITH CONDENSER MICS. NOT WHAT IT WAS MADE FOR. THEY DO NOT NEED IT.Read full review

Such a good problem solver! I love my ribbon microphones (Reslo Celeste and Beyerdynamic 260) and knew they could be more useful to me if I could get more gain without noise. Now my Beyer is my go to for acoustic guitar. It already was for my saxophone, but it's found a new versatility. And with the Reslo, which isn't the greatest ribbon mic, it's become my go to for some vocals. That is a very low output mic (50 ohms!) so I needed so much gain before. I don't know how I did things before without one of these. Very happy! -JB

I use this with a MXL ribbon Mic that has an upgraded transformer. Still my Scarlet interface preamp didnt have enough gain. With this now I have achieved a freakin' amazing sound. Trustworthy build, quality. Very helpful for this use and many others. Highly reccomended
