Triton Audio FetHead is a preamplifier for dynamic and ribbon microphones. FetHead has very low noise and connects directly to the microphone. Small, compact, yet powerful, FetHead uses FET technology to provide up to 27 dB of clean boost.
FetHead connects directly to any microphone equipped with an XLR connector or anywhere in the signal path between the microphone and preamplifier/mixer. The electronic components are integrated into a robust metal housing, with a balanced XLR female input and a balanced XLR male output. The sturdy construction makes FetHead suitable for home use, in the studio, or on tour.
FetHead significantly improves the sound of microphones; a Shure SM57, for example, sounds more responsive across a wider frequency range. And when used together with high-quality dynamic microphones, such as a Sennheiser MD441 or Shure SM7B, FetHead truly shines.
Ribbon microphones also benefit from improved sound due to a much better impedance matching. The FetHead reduces the load on the microphone, providing better transient response. Some older ribbon microphones do not tolerate Phantom Power; however, FetHead uses Phantom Power to power its circuits but does not pass it on to the microphone, thus protecting ribbon microphones from unwanted accidents.
