Voice - The Cloud 44-A has a great deal of depth and detail across its frequency

range. Starting at 1 to 3 feet should provide excellent sound. When using the

microphone for spoken word or singing at close proximity (closer than 2 feet), it may

be desirable to use the “V,”or voice position, of the switch located at the bottom of the

microphone housing to reduce exaggerated bass frequencies that naturally occur due

to the proximity effect common with ribbon microphones.The “M,”or music position,

will provide a deeper bass response. It is advisable to try both settings to familiarize

yourself with the differences in characteristics so that you may choose the appropriate

setting for the desired result on any given source.

Drum Overheads -

A Blumlein pair, spaced pair, or single mic placed a few feet above

the kit will result in a natural, full-bodied sound while nicely smoothing out

potentially harsh transients. The Cloud 44-A sounds full and detailed as a room mic

when placed several feet in front of a drum kit. Generally the “M,”or music setting

will be desirable. However, the “V,”or voice position, can be used as a rumble filter if

undesirable low frequencies occur. This setting can also be useful when recording drums

or piano in a room with a wooden floor where significant low frequency vibrations may

occur. Do not use on kick drums without extreme caution or damage may occur. For

kick, follow the guidelines for recording loud guitar amps (off axis, great distance, etc.),

doing so will protect the microphone and produce a nice, full sound.

Amplifiers -

For smaller amps or those with moderate volume levels, place the

microphone no closer than 18 inches from the speaker cone, slightly off axis from the

side. For very loud or higher SPL amplifiers, we highly recommend placing the mic at a

greater distance from the source. With proper placement, the 44-A will provide many

years of service in this capacity. Do not place the microphone anywhere you can feel

wind or sound pressure with your hand. In the “M,”or music position, guitar and bass

amps benefit greatly from the Cloud 44-A’s beautiful and full bass reproduction.

In the “V,”or voice position, the benefits of the reduced proximity effect may be useful,

especially at closer distances or where the source is intended to fit in a mix where a

significant amount of low frequencies are already present.

Due to its smooth frequency characteristics, natural,

detailed sound, and switchable frequency response curve

(“Music,”or “Voice”) the Cloud 44-A is a versatile

microphone that excels in a wide variety of applications.

Instruments and voice are captured with detailed and

natural character. The Cloud 44-A is an especially desirab

alternative for vocals and instruments that may sound to

harsh or thin using other types of microphones, such as

condenser, where elevated response in the upper frequen

bands, distortion, or other resonant peaks may exist. Rib

microphones sound smooth in comparison to other micro

phone types, as distortion characteristics do not exist

inherently in the technology. When miking loud or potent

windy sound sources (guitar/bass amps, kick drums, plo

heavy dialogue), we recommend using a pop filter and

correct placement. Tilt the mic slightly and place it off ax

from the side, to avoid potential damage from the ribbon

taking the force of intense low frequency pressure waves

head on.

ACTIVE RIBBON MICROPHONE

Swivel Mount Use and Maintenance

The hex key that is included is for occasional tightening only. When adjusting the angle of

the microphone for placement, it is not necessary to loosen the hex screw on the mount.

The hex screw should remain very tight at all times for normal angle adjustments. Adjust

the angle of the swivel mount for placement by gripping the body or frame of the micro-

phone and moving it into position by hand. If the mount does become loose, which should

be very rare, it can be tightened easily.

To tighten the mount, simply place the mic on a stand and hold the body with one hand for

stability. Tilt the microphone forward on the mount and tighten the hex screw where the

mount meets the body of the microphone so that it is nice and snug. Move the mic forward

and back on the mount a few times, then torque a bit further to ensure that it is very tight.

If tightened properly, the mount will remain tight for a very long time and will not become

loose during normal angle adjustments.

Output and Preamps

The Cloud 44-A is an active ribbon microphone that has sensitivity similar to that of a

modern condenser microphone. For this reason, even preamps with a modest amount of

gain should have no trouble amplifying the Cloud 44-A, as it has the award winning

“Cloudlifter”circuity built inside the microphone housing. All that is required is a preamp

or input channel that provides +48v phantom power.

Welcome

Hello and thank you for purchasing the Cloud 44-A, the first active ribbon microphone with

switchable response curves for music and voice applications. Below you'll find information

on how to care for your microphone. While the delicate ribbon inside the 44-A is

adequately protected, you’ll want to take proper care to ensure extraordinary sound and

functionality for years to come.
