- Expert Description
- En: A JFET in-line activator: 26 dB of gain, 2.4 kΩ input, 150 Ω output, drawing 4.7 mA from 48 V phantom. Unlike the plain Cloudlifter class it also carries two tone switches — a 100 Hz high-pass with 12 dB of slope and a 3 kHz high shelf worth 2.5 dB. Maximum input is -6 dBu, maximum output +20 dBu, which is exactly the 26 dB stated. · Uk: Інлайновий активатор на JFET: 26 дБ підсилення, вхід 2,4 кΩ, вихід 150 Ω, споживання 4,7 мА від фантома 48 В. На відміну від простих приладів цього класу, має ще два тембральні перемикачі — фільтр низьких частот 100 Гц із крутизною 12 дБ і високу полицю 3 кГц на 2,5 дБ. Максимальний вхід -6 dBu, максимальний вихід +20 dBu — рівно ті самі заявлені 26 дБ.·

Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Headroom Notes
Maximum input is -6 dBu (388 mV). A loud dynamic on a snare can exceed that; the high-pass switch does not help there, because the peak is broadband.
Production Warning
Warm Audio state the current the box draws from phantom (4.7 mA) but never state whether phantom reaches the microphone through it. For a device of this class that is the one fact that decides whether a condenser can be used behind it, and it is missing, so this catalogue leaves it unknown rather than assuming the usual answer.
