Key Features
- 2 Mic Inputs
- Improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio
- Use with Passive Dynamic and Ribbon Mics
- +25 dB of Clean, Transparent Gain
The Cloudlifter CL-2 Mic Activator from Cloud Microphones is a compact, dual-input solution for common audio problems in the field and in the studio involving low-output passive microphones, including ribbon mics. The CL-2 uses any standard phantom-powered mixer or microphone input device to provide up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and improves the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live, and studio applications. The CL-2 is housed in a rugged steel enclosure which offers shielding and durability.

Will this boost the signal enough to run a mic ...
Will this boost the signal enough to run a mic into the non amp (line/instr.) inputs on the back of the motu m4 (using the Lewitt lct 440)?
That would not be done with the Cloudlifter CL-2. This only increases the gain of a microphone by 25dB. If you want to go into a line input from your microphone the best way to do that would be by using a small mixer like B&H # MAMIX5 for example.

question
Will the CL-2 Cloudlifter work with/help improve the Sennheiser ew112-p-G3 wireless mic signal-to-noise ratio?
I would not think so. To improve the noise floor with your Sennheiser ew112-p-G3, try re-positioning the mic and adjusting gain at the transmitter.

How far can you run your cable from your mic to the lifter...10ft be ok?
question
Is it possible to use only one channel on this? Or will it only be powered if you are using both phantom-powered channels?
You can choose to use just one channel, or even use both channels separately for different microphones. In order for the +48 to reach the Pres in the box, you have to send Phantom down both lines that you're using: that's to say that Phantom is not shared in the box across the two channels.
