1. Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator
Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator is based on Cloud’s award-winning Cloudlifter technology that converts phantom power into an additional +25 dB of ultra-clean gain for low output dynamic and ribbon mics. Cloudlifters solve problems posed by noisy preamps and can be used to drive stronger, cleaner signals over long XLR cable runs. The single rack space CL-4 is simple and compact, featuring four rear-mounted sets of balanced XLR inputs and outputs and is ideal for broadcast, live sound, public address, and professional studio applications. Using patent pending technology that keeps the direct audio path free-and- clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors, the CL-4 houses Class A, Discrete JFET circuitry that delivers world class, ultra-clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the source.

2. Omnitronic XPA-700
You need reliable amplifiers and don't want to spend a fortune on them?
Rely on the proven Class A/B or H circuitry of these power amplifiers: It ensures low-distortion and efficient amplification of the incoming signal. Thanks to the sophisticated cooling concept with modern fans, the devices of the XPA series work reliably even at high power levels.
Safety is your top priority?
All XPA power amplifiers have a built-in limiter and a complete protection circuit package against short-circuits, overheating, DC voltage and power-on surges. XPA amplifiers are very suitable for rack mounting (2 RU) and fixed installation in bars, clubs and small discotheques. You can also rely on these amplifiers for live events.
