Product Description
The FetHead is an ultra low noise, high quality in line microphone preamplifier designed to enhance the performance of ribbon, dynamic, and tube microphones. Using tried and true Class A FET technology, it provides up to 27dB of clean gain, delivering improved response and a broader frequency range. No longer will you need to crank up your preamp and introduce unwanted noise with FetHead, your microphone signal remains crystal clear.
Compact yet powerful, the FetHead attaches directly to any XLR equipped microphone or can be placed anywhere in the signal path between the microphone and preamp/mixer. Its robust metal chassis ensures durability, whether in the studio, at home, or on tour. Additionally, the FetHead protects ribbon microphones from phantom power damage while still utilising phantom power for its own circuitry. Elevate your sound with FetHead trusted since 2008 for unmatched quality and performance.
Key Features:
- Ultra Low Noise Amplification:
Provides up to 27dB of clean gain, significantly improving microphone sensitivity without introducing unwanted noise or distortion. - Improved Microphone Performance:
Enhances the frequency response and transient characteristics of dynamic and ribbon microphones, allowing for richer and more detailed sound capture. - Phantom Power Protection:
Uses phantom power to operate but prevents it from reaching ribbon microphones, ensuring their safety and longevity.
Effortless Operation:
The FetHead connects seamlessly to any XLR equipped microphone, or anywhere within the signal chain before the preamp/mixer. Its compact yet rugged design makes it an ideal companion for home studios, professional recording setups, and live performances. Simply plug it in, and experience an instant improvement in sound quality without complex setup.
Enhanced Performance for All Microphones:
Whether using a Shure SM57, SM7, or a high end Sennheiser MD441, the FetHead maximises microphone potential. Ribbon microphones benefit particularly well due to improved impedance matching, resulting in better transient response and a more extended usable range for capturing delicate sounds.
Designed for Versatility:
The FetHead is not just for dynamic and ribbon microphones, it also works exceptionally well with tube and battery powered microphones. By providing a cleaner, stronger signal, it ensures consistent and high quality recordings across various microphone types.
