Convenient in-line design
Thanks to its convenient in-line design, FetHead is a breeze to use. It latches effortlessly onto any XLR-equipped microphone, or you can place it anywhere between your mic and preamplifier or console. Beyond that, FetHead’s electronics are housed in a durable metal chassis with balanced I/O. Here at Sweetwater, we’ve found this compact in-line preamp to be rugged enough for home, studio, and stage alike.
27dB of juice for your dynamic and ribbon mics
With 27dB of clean, FET-fueled gain on tap, Triton Audio FetHead will level up the performance of any mic you plug into it. It can take a 57-style dynamic mic to an entirely new tier of performance, infusing it with agile responsiveness over a wider frequency range, while lending a studio-level character to high-end dynamic and broadcast mics. FetHead reduces the impedance load on ribbon microphones, granting them enhanced transient response and an extended usable range — a must-have for capturing quiet sources.
Protects your fragile ribbon microphones
Have you ever fried a vintage ribbon mic with phantom power? If not, count yourself lucky — it’s a traumatic experience. FetHead safeguards against this unfortunate situation. While it employs phantom power to power its circuitry, it doesn’t pass phantom power to your microphones. It’s the ideal insurance policy for your fragile ribbon mics.
