Product Description
The Triton Audio FetHead is a low-noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones. The electronics are housed in a robust metal chassis with a balanced 3-pole female XLR input and a balanced 3-pole male XLR output, rugged enough for use at home, in the studio or on tour.
All tested microphones showed sonic improvement. A Shure SM57 for instance, sounds more responsive over a broader frequency range. When mated with a high-end dynamic microphone like a Sennheiser MD441, or Shure SM7 FetHead really shines. Ribbon microphones benefit greatly too because of a much better impedance match, which lessens the load on the microphone, giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHead's high quality, low noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, making it more suitable for recording softer passages.
Some ribbon microphones do not tolerate phantom power. FetHead's circuit uses 48 V phantom power but shields it from the microphone, so the microphone is protected.
