Cloud Microphones Mini CL-25
The Cloud Microphones Mini CL-25 is a compact, high-performance microphone activator designed to deliver ultra-clean gain for low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones. Built with Cloud’s renowned ultra-low-noise circuitry, the Mini CL-25 provides up to +25 dB of transparent gain — making it the perfect solution for studio recording, broadcasting, podcasting, and live sound applications.
Housed in a rugged, portable enclosure, the Mini CL-25 ensures optimal microphone performance by boosting signal strength before it reaches your preamp. The result is increased headroom, reduced noise, and improved clarity — especially when using gain-hungry microphones such as broadcast-style dynamics or passive ribbon mics.
Whether you’re building a professional recording studio or upgrading your podcast setup, the Mini CL-25 delivers clean, reliable amplification in a compact format.
Clean Gain for Professional Results
Low-output microphones often require high preamp gain, which can introduce unwanted noise. The Mini CL-25 solves this problem by using phantom power to provide +25 dB of ultra-clean gain before your mic signal reaches the preamp — without passing phantom power to the microphone itself.
This makes it ideal for:
-
Passive ribbon microphones
-
Broadcast dynamic microphones
-
Podcast and voiceover setups
-
Streaming and content creation
-
Live sound reinforcement
With its transparent sound signature, the Mini CL-25 preserves the natural tone of your microphone while delivering improved signal-to-noise performance.
