Vocalists, podcasters, broadcasters, and voice-over artists, you all have a favoured dynamic microphone, but do you ever wish it was louder?
Improve your recording quality with the TridonAudio FetHead, a compact inline microphone preamp that sits between your microphone and recording device. Ideal for dynamic or ribbon microphones, it increases the output level without adding any unwanted noise or hiss. Enhance your studio setup and elevate your recordings with the FetHead!
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.
Attach FetHead onto a balanced microphone cable and plug it in a dynamic microphone, switch on phantom power and enjoy FetHeads Natural open sound!
Inspired by the positive results of the BigAmp, Tritonaudio wondered if a phantom-powered, high-quality preamp preceding the microphone cable could improve the sound quality of a ribbon or dynamic microphone. The results were more than convincing. Enter FetHead, their latest innovation in phantom-powered preamp design. While testing FetHead, Tritonaudio noticed an overall increase in sound quality and a change of tonal character of the attached dynamic microphone towards a more open, controlled sound.
In short, we noticed an improvement on all tested dynamic microphones. A Shure SM57 or SM58 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, thus giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHeads high quality, low-noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, by making it more suitable for recording softer passages without introducing noise.
Some ribbon microphones do not tolerate phantom power, FetHead's circuit uses Phantom power but shields it from its input (and the microphone's output). As a result, it offers effective protection to the microphone.
Fethead uses low-noise jfets configured as a double-class amplifier. Jfet's are among the quietest amplifying elements available today. The calculated noise figure of the FetHead based on the jfet's datasheet is lower than we are able to measure.
