The Cloud Microphones True Blue CL-520 500-Series Preamp is a next-generation microphone preamp designed for engineers, producers, and musicians who demand exceptional transparency without sacrificing musicality.
Developed in collaboration with the legendary designers at TRUE Systems, the CL-520 delivers up to 76 dB of ultra-clean gain with remarkable headroom, making it equally at home with condenser, dynamic, ribbon, and self-powered tube microphones. Whether you're tracking delicate vocals, acoustic instruments, orchestral performances, or high-energy drums, the True Blue CL-520 captures every nuance with stunning depth, clarity, and realism. Built for the popular API 500-Series format, the True Blue CL-520 combines innovative technology with intuitive operation. Its patent-pending Cloud Touch-Control interface replaces traditional mechanical switches with illuminated capacitive controls and high-reliability relay switching for shorter signal paths, improved EMI resistance, and exceptional long-term durability. Practical studio features like a continuously variable high-pass filter, polarity reverse, dedicated Dynamic/Ribbon mode, and integrated FET-based DI input with THRU output make the CL-520 an incredibly versatile front end for virtually any recording session. Designed with an uncompromising fully balanced topology, precision-matched components, and rail-to-rail circuitry, it delivers ultra-low distortion, wide bandwidth, and the kind of sonic accuracy that lets your microphones - and your performances—shine.
