• Authentic Vintage Sound with Modern Durability: The Cloud 44 captures the legendary tone of the original RCA 44 while being built for today’s demanding studio and broadcast environments. Its passive ribbon design delivers warm, natural sound with excellent transient response, making it perfect for vocals, strings, horns, and more. The figure-8 polar pattern provides exceptional side rejection, minimizing room noise and isolating the source with clarity.

With a max SPL of 138+ dB, it confidently records brass, drums, guitar amps, and other high-volume instruments without risk of damage. Whether capturing intimate vocals or powerful performances, the 1.8-micron ribbon diaphragm ensures detailed, lifelike audio reproduction.
• Cloudlifter CL-1 for Ultra-Clean Gain Boost: Included with the Cloud 44, the Cloudlifter CL-1 provides up to +25dB of clean gain using phantom power, optimizing performance for low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones. This external gain stage preserves the mic’s tonal character while reducing noise and interference, making it ideal for modern interfaces and preamps. Use it with the Cloud 44 or any other mic in your collection for enhanced clarity and output.
• Handcrafted in the USA with Sustainable Manufacturing: Built with precision and care, the Cloud 44 is handmade in the USA using sustainable processes that support local industries, from metal fabrication to final assembly.
