The FetHead is a cleaner setup. No need for extra cables, no extra box to take space on your desk.

[@syzyphyz]

Depends on your definition of clean; for the boom arm my pr40 is mounted on i really don't want anything extra sticking out of the back of my mic, whereas a small extra box on the floor before it runs into the mixer or my Zoom H6 digital recorder is a nicer setup for me. I also do live shows and having that thing sticking out of the back of the mic would be a no-go for many artists who run around the stage with their mics.

Try swapping the Fethead an cloud lifter leaving everything else the same (except for the extra cable needed by the cloud lifter). If the problem moves, it's the fet head, if not it's something in the rest of your setup

Highlights are very well controlled with no clipping and with a good color gamut. Keep on boothing! Always a pleasure to hear your valuable guidance.

[@thedadwars]

Amazing comparison. Thanks for this.

[@kirbymurdstone4925]

With out getting too technical, I think your hum issue is due to low Common mode rejection (CMRR) of your pre-amps and less than perfectly balanced interconnects. It is not a "ground loop" because you need 2 sources of ground in the system to create the loop. The cloud lifter or the FETHead MAY make this worse if the outputs aren't perfectly balanced. This is is where it is it is hard to not get technical. For your pre-amps to reject noise (via common mode rejection) the two wires carrying the signal coming into it need to be balanced. This means their impedance (Impedance includes capacitance, resistance, and inductance) to the signal ground needs to be EXACTLY equal. If it isn't, some of the noise that is being induced into the cable, is converted to audio in the pre-amp. This is where good cables come into play. Cables that have precisely balanced conductors help your pre-amps reject that noise. There are some cables that do this better. If you get a quality "Star quad" cable (these have 4 conductors for the signal, 2 for positive and 2 for negative) help reject noise because they are Physically as well as electrically balanced. It is also important to have good connections, you should always use connectors with gold plated pins. these are more consistent in making good connections. I wish that equipment like the Cloud lifter and FETHead had better specs available, like, CMRR of their input, output impedence, and self noise. This would help in making a decision, at least for us engineer types. In the end, If it sounds good, then it is good)

[@clawsby6964]

Not many people are gonna know all this technical stuff basic thing is cloudlifter is better that's it😂

[@totallyfrozen]

Bill clawsby LOL! That’s the low IQ answer. Really, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t know what he was talking about before because he just explained it. Regardless of which unit you use, you need to get high quality cables. The jury is still out on the whole subject of how beneficial gold plating is on the connectors, but I don’t know enough to argue so I’ll take his word for it.

[@clawsby6964]

@@totallyfrozen nah no one is gonna take their time to read that and the cloud lifter is better even in tests it's just better it's been proven and while cables do matter it's barely unless you compare a 50 cent and a 50 dollar cable there will be a difference

[@totallyfrozen]

Bill clawsby I took my time to read it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ While I agree with you and will get the CloudLifter, the guy was able to talk tech and explained the need for good cables. You imply that you can’t or won’t bother to talk tech, then you dismiss the argument for better cables. Seems you are invalidating you’re own position, but oversimplifying it. “Better” is such a generic term. And, really, while it may be better for my needs (and yours), saying something is better “because it’s better” just sounds really low IQ. Anyone can make a blanket statement. Being able to explain the reasoning behind the decision is what counts. Given limited funds or limited space requirements, the fethead might be better for someone’s needs.

[@clawsby6964]

@@totallyfrozen while I can see your point what I was saying is that the average consumer is gonna have no idea what any of that means and the average guy already probably knows that you have to buy higher quality cables than one from Dollar tree and if you put these 2 things side by side the cloud lifter is just better it's not that I won't talk tech it's that not everyone does If I came to this video knowing nothing and wanted to know just simply which one is better seeing this comment would not help me

[@skakdosmer]

Hello, greetings from Danmark (“Denmark”) and thanks for the video. For the time being the Fethead is €69 and the Cloudlifter is €169, so a price difference of €100 (which is $117.54 in early july 2018). And since I already find €69 anything but inexpensive - to me at least - there really isn't much doubt in my mind which one I'll prefer. Also Holland is almost next door.

[@MoltenSnowball]

This was very helpful. Thank you. I don't know if its a difference in the microphones but I prefer the "meatier" sound of the Fethead

[@hsparent]

Very helpful information, thank you Mike!

[@seehee2k]

Regarding the hum, it is also present in the CL signal, but less loud. Probably due to the set gain making the two signals not equally loud. This was before you adjusted the gain individually. That is why the hiss is also much louder in this section.

[@notvalidcharacters]

Excellent comparison, thanks. Was thinking of boosting my studio RE-20 with a FetHead (or either one). Actually I already run it through a dbx (a 266) which does great on the gating but I still have to floor the mixer.

[@nodaysback8390]

Thank you for this video! and your others, as well.. I would suggest that you rearrange your cabling and location of the CL-1.. meaning keep the CL-1 close to your SM7-B and use the short XLR cable between the mic and the Cloudlifter. That way the boosted and more robust signal will be traveling the longer distance and reach the preamp with less degradation. Might not make a world of difference.. but theoretically, that would be the way to go.

[@VitalyBokser]

[@TheRafflem]

Hello Mike, Both the FedHead and the Cloudlifter are easy to obtain here in Holland, The Netherlands. Audio store have them in stock and webshops have next day delivery. There are priced around €180,- for the Cloudlifter and €70,- for the FedHead.

[@alexshdvideo]

Not having extra weight hanging off a mic XLR makes it an easy choice for me. Thank you for posting both sound good on your SM58. IF i need this I’ll get the cloud lifter since later I 90% likely will get a SM7B next year... and it will mean less weight on the arm. Thank you for posting.

[@SimulationKris]

I've a Fethead for my Shure mic. It's been siting behind the mic for at least a year now. No problems to report. It helped to reduce the hiss immensely. The only disadvantage might be that it might not fit on your mic arm depending on the position of the microphone but that's only in rare cases like for Shure 55 or similar vertical mics. In any case you can use 2 XLR cables as well if that is a problem. I would buy another one if I needed it for any reason. Great product. Also thanks Mike for the video.

[@fmuscari]

I tend to use my Fethead at the OTHER end of my XLR cable. I.E. at the input to my pre-amp. It can plug into any XLR female jack. I use an XLR patchbay in my rack, and the Fethead just stays plugged in at that end.

[@nathanielhamilton5841]

The mic on the right picks up more nasally nuances to me, the mic on the left has a deeper low end and overall warmer presence "to me". I could be completely tripping out but it almost sounds like the right mic has a slight low end shelf ducking some of the presence, which I know it most likely not the case but that's the best way I think I can explain it. It's ever so subtle, like 1 - 2 db of a cut. I'm listening through ATH-M50 headphones. Excellent content my dude!

Here in Holland, the Fethead can be had for 70 whereas the Cloudlifter is priced at 180. Friend of mine has the Fethead and has crackling problems with it. Also, it occasionally shocks him badly. A quick check on a retailer's website showed me it appears that they make a Fethead WITH Phantom power these days (it mentions it's for condensor mics, does add 10 to the price). To my ears there's no difference whatsoever at regular volume. Great video once again Mike!

Another timely and topical video Mike. Thanks. As one who records VO daily with my Shure SM7B, I went through the evaluation process of these products just over a year ago. Ultimately, I chose the Fethead and am delighted with its performance in my signal chain. It works alongside a PreSonus TubePre preamp (with Tung-Sol 12AX7 tube) and a 2i2. The gain is clean, plentiful, and reliable. FWIW, I bought the Fethead for $75 on eBay. Congrats on hitting 20k subscribers.

[@alberterzmagier7370]

9:55 Interesting. I would say the opposite, that the cloudlifter has always to be reconnected in both xlr cables which can be annoying when you re on the road. The fethead can always stay inside the microphone but when you have it on a desk the cloudlifter can always stay there on the same place.

[@daleburie4656]

I appreciate the comparison, for us old studio guys, I would have liked you to address the signal chain from the console to the mic, such as using phantom power to provide power to the cloud lifter. I bought the two channel cloud lifter and had to ask my sales guy, how to hook it up........dumb moment I have a SM7b , sm 58's and a RE 20. After chasing the condenser train I find myself returning to dynamic mics. !!!! Thanks for your work !t

[@DonBernhard]

If you want 2 channels, and you are looking for convenience, Cloudlifter makes a 2 channel box called CL-2. It's cheaper than buying two single Cloudlifters, but still probably a bit more than two Fetheads. CL-2 is currently $249 at most places.

[@docfaceful]

Thanks for a great video mate. I’m going to go with the cloudlifter simply because I have a mic soundshield on my boom arm and a fethead will effectively push my mic (Rode Podmic) so far forward that the shield will be useless.

So it might've been the orientation of your microphone versus the magnetic field of the earth. I think caused by poor ground, or poor shielding, not entirely sure.

Another thing about form factor is, say you're traveling and want a stereo mobile rig using something like a Babyface Pro and a laptop, two Fetheads will fit MUCH better in your bag than two Cloudlifters and their extra cables.

[@jalind1]

I use a CloudLifter with the dbx 286s for the very low gain dynamic mics I have such as the Shure SM7B, Electro-Voice RE20, and so on to improve noise figure and stay away from using high gain levels on the dbx 286S preamp. Not truly necessary because the dbx 286S has a lot of preamp gain available, but it is a little quieter.

[@boeing757pilot]

Indeed! I have a RE20 and DBX286S.. I prefer the Cloudlifter but still works well without the Cloudlifter..

[@agentsixsix]

Does anyone notice the remarks about the "placement" of the devices? This is not correct. They are identical, both XLR female and male, so you can put them anywhere in the chain. The Fethead doesn't necessarily have to be mounted on the mic directly. You can also mount it to the pre-amp or somewhere in between using two cables :-) Big plus for all of these devices for my setup is that I can (have to) turn on phantom power for all of my channels (other mics are condensors) without risking to feed 48V to my SM7B. From my Focusrite, phantom power can only be switched on/off in groups of 4, so I always have to fiddle and improvise with the input assignment.

[@garyreidmusic]

This seals it... I'm getting a CloudLifter for my MXL R144 Ribbon Mic. I was going to upgrade my microphone to a Rode NT1a but I think the CloudLifter is exactly what I need.

Was using my R144 into my Cloudlifter yesterday for acoustic instruments. AMAZING quality. I had them for a few years now.

[@dmourati]

11:11 Shouldn't you reverse the cables so that the short cable sits between the microphone and the CL-1? I read elsewhere that doing so reduces the chance of interference in the pre-pre amplified source. Try it?

[@kmacradio]

I wish my beard looked like yours... but I digress, I think I'll go with the Cloud Lifter. The ground hum was one of the reasons. The other reason was that I don't like the idea of attaching a device directly to the mic and another reason is because it's "assembled" in the U.S.A. - I think you're right about the "components" probably being made in China.

[@Filow]

The Fethead can also be just plugged into the interface/preamp. You dont *HAVE* to put it directly in the mic. Or am i wrong?

[@eugenek9280]

My understanding is that it is actually preferable to plug it in at the interface.

[@three60radio]

[@BrianSchwartz]

I have owned both for a long time. I wouldn't agree that the CL is better for a mobile setup. The size and the extra needed xlr cable makes it more of a pain. I have always had a little better luck with the Fethead. Last time I used the CL, it created a lot of extra noise but that sound was coming from a mixer to a PA speaker. So I do not know if it is failing. In the end, they both sound very similar. I just find myself using the Fethead more often because I am mobile. I can see if you need a setup that will stay in a permanent position, the CL would be a good choice.

[@zaperfan]

Hey man would you say that since you can turn your preamp down that it gives you more head room for recording music in a daw?

[@crowonawirehome]

After some thought, there is a problem with this comparo. To be fair you should have at least tried the FETHEAD with two cables. Moving the power section of the amp away from the mic might be quieter. Just a thought. I own the cloudlifter and find it, more or less, perfect. Great vids. Thanks.
