Cloudlifter CL-1 In-Line Preamp
The Cloudlifter CL-1 is the classic inline gain helper people pair with the SM7B, mainly because older interfaces didn’t have enough clean gain. With newer interfaces like my Quantum HD8, you may not need it—but it’s still a solid tool if your preamps are struggling.
Pros
- +Adds clean gain for low-output dynamics like the SM7B
- +Simple inline solution when your interface gain is limited
Cons
- -Less necessary with modern high-gain interfaces
- -Requires phantom power
