Cloud Microphones is an audio equipment manufacturer based in Tucson, Arizona, founded by Rodger Cloud. The company's origins trace to 2006, when Cloud began refurbishing vintage ribbon microphones and studying classic designs with the goal of modernizing the technology while preserving its characteristic sound. Working alongside Stephen Sank, he developed the company's first ribbon model, the JRS-34.

The brand is best known for the Cloudlifter, an inline phantom-powered mic activator that provides clean gain for low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones. The Cloudlifter line includes the compact CL-25, the popular CL-1, and feature-expanded models like the CL-X and CL-Z. Alongside the activators, Cloud produces a range of ribbon microphones including the Cloud 44-A (an active ribbon tribute to the classic RCA 44), the 44 Midnight, and the JRS-34, as well as the TRUE BLUE 520 preamp and the U1 universal microphone shock mount.

Cloudlifter products and ribbon microphones are manufactured in the United States, and the company maintains manufacturing partnerships in Arizona and with the Navajo Nation. Cloud's products are widely used in broadcasting, podcasting, voiceover, and music recording for their ability to pair cleanly with dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B and to deliver a smooth ribbon character suited to both vintage and modern applications.

Cloud Microphones has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Preamps and Ribbon Microphones. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Pop, Hip Hop, and Electronic. Notable users include Mary Spender, Jon Bellion, and Joon.
