Who is Cloud Microphones?

Cloud Microphones is an audio equipment designer and manufacturer that is based in Tucson, Arizona. They specialize in producing premium-quality ribbon microphones alongside cutting-edge mic preamps and accessories.

Cloud Microphones is committed to delivering pro-quality audio with their microphones that feature clean gain and preserve the tonal quality of any audio source. This gained the brand worldwide acclaim with artists, producers, and engineers using their mics in recordings and live shows.

History of Cloud Mics

Founded in 2009 by Rodger Cloud, Cloud Microphones’ mission was to revolutionize the audio industry with state-of-the-art tools for dynamic and ribbon mics. 

They started their journey with the invention of the Cloudlifter, an inline microphone preamp that ensures clean gain for improved clarity and output. This device set new industry standards as it enhanced low-output mics without coloring its tone.

Cloud Microphones eventually branched out to build their own ribbon microphones. Their first hit was the Cloud 44-A active ribbon microphone which was a modern tribute to the classic RCA 44 series. The 44-A combined vintage ribbon mic characteristics with contemporary technology, making them reliable for modern settings.

Today, Cloud mics are celebrated globally for their superior sound quality, making them staples in studio recordings, live performances, and podcasting rigs.

Why You Need a Cloud Mic

You should have a Cloud ribbon mic in your rig for the following reasons:

• Clean and Clear Signal Without Noise - Each Cloud microphone, especially those with built-in Cloudlifters, boosts your mic signal while preserving its natural tone. The additional gain guarantees that your mic can deliver a cleaner and stronger sound during any recording application.
• Best for Quiet Sound Sources - If you’re recording soft-spoken dialogue, delicate vocals, or subtle acoustic instruments, any Cloud mic can capture the signal without the worry of increasing background noise. This guarantees every nuance during the performance is captured without coloring the recording.
• Easily Compatible with Any Setup - Whether you’re using a budget mixer or a professional console, you can trust that all Cloud Microphones can adapt seamlessly. These ribbon microphones ensure they integrate with your gear while keeping themselves protected from unwanted interference.
• Preserved Microphone Fidelity - Using any Cloud studio microphone reduces the need to push the gain of your preamp to its limits. By keeping your gain settings optimal, you can ensure that your mic doesn’t introduce distortion and that its tonal characteristics remain intact.
• Adaptable to Any Setting - All Cloud Microphones excel in studio sessions, podcast recordings, and live performances. The ability of these microphones to maintain audio integrity in any setting makes them a no-brainer choice for musicians, producers, content creators, and sound engineers alike.

Whether you’re a touring artist or an aspiring producer, having a Cloud mic in your arsenal guarantees crisp and beautiful recordings of your performances.
