Description
The Cloud Microphones Cloud 44 is a hand-built passive ribbon microphone that captures the warm, natural, and remarkably detailed sound ribbon mics are loved for. Designed and assembled in the USA, the Cloud 44 pairs a carefully tuned ribbon element with Cloud's renowned transformer to deliver a smooth top end, rich low-mids, and the kind of effortless realism that flatters vocals, guitar amps, brass, strings, and room sources alike.
Because it is a passive ribbon, the Cloud 44 performs at its absolute best with plenty of clean gain - which is why this package includes a Cloudlifter to boost the signal with up to +25 dB of completely transparent gain. The result is a quiet, open, high-resolution signal path that lets the ribbon's character come through without noise or strain on your preamp.
Built for the studio and rugged enough for daily use, the Cloud 44 is a go-to ribbon for engineers who want vintage-style tone with modern reliability. Its figure-8 polar pattern makes it equally at home on solo sources, Blumlein and mid-side stereo arrays, and creative room miking.
