The Cloud 44 Midnight passive ribbon microphone channels the personality of the past with the clarity and robustness for modern recording. Whereas the Cloud 44-A is "active" with Cloudlifter circuitry built in, the Cloud 44 Midnight is passive for use on louder sources or when close miking is desired.

The Cloud 44 includes "Midnight Edition" Cloudlifter and ships with its own Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator in a matching black finish, providing the option of ultraclean gain, or for use with other ribbon, dynamic or tube mics. While the ribbon motor design remains true to the original 1930s RCA 44, everything else has been upgraded using state-of-the-art materials, manufacturing processes and technology. Cloud ribbon mics are handbuilt in Tucson, Arizona, using components meticulously selected and sourced in the United States.

    Like velvet for vocals. I loved getting to know how to work this mic, once i found the sweet spot, nothing could compare. Handbuilt is something thats hard to come by nowadays, I appreciate their commitment to doing so.

    I cannot emphasize how good this microphone is. Open, transparent and HUGE. First time tracking vocals and I blurted out to my assistant this mic is "breaking though the digital". It will take some time to learn this microphone, treat it like an instrument and it will reward you 10x
