Lowers the noise floor of your recordings. Preamp for ribbon and dynamic microphones.
FetHead is an ultra-low noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones. Small, compact, but, powerful, Fethead utilizes tried and true FET technology to deliver up to 27dB of clean boost. No more cranking your mic preamp and adding unwanted noise to get your microphone to an acceptable volume. For ribbon and dynamic microphones.Low noise Class A FET amplifier. Frequency response 10hz-100khz (+/- 1dB). , Circuit is powered with 24-48V phantom power. We noticed an improvement on all tested microphones. 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 our FetHead really shines. Ribbon microphones benefit greatly too because of a much better impedance match.
Fethead reduces the load on the microphone, giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHeads low noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, making it more suitable to capture softer sound sources.
Some older ribbon microphones do not tolerate phantom power. Fethead uses phantom power to power its circuitry, but doesn't pass phantom power to the microphone, so rest assured your ribbon mics are safe.
