Key Features
The TritonAudio FetHead Filter Microphone Preamp with High-Pass Filter is the perfect pairing with ribbon and low-output dynamic microphones. Although it may be small, it is mighty. When connected to your microphone it delivers a clean boost of up to 27dB. This means you no longer need to crank your preamp to achieve the perfect level of gain. They'll be no more noise or hiss, just great sounding recordings!
The FetHead features a integrated high pass filter at 220Hz. This is perfect for minimising proximity effect which can often occur with figure-eight polar patterns, or when a microphone is placed closed to a source. Thanks to the gentle 6dB slope, the filter will be subtle, allowing the Fethead to preserve its unique sonic characteristics.
Incredibly easy to install, simply connect the FetHead in between your XLR equipped microphone and cable. All the components are housed within a rugged, durable chassis that is perfect for protection from superficial damage, guaranteeing a long-lasting life. Whether you're on-stage or in the studio, rest assured knowing you'll sound great thanks to TritonAudio.

When testing various microphones with the FetHead, TritonAudio noticed a significant improvement on every source. When paired with a readily available 57 you'll hear an increase in response and a broader frequency range. However, the FetHead really shines when matched with microphones such as MD441s and Shure SM7Bs.
They're also great on Ribbon microphones as they provide an enhanced impedance match, taking the weight off of the microphone which results in a sharper transient response. This will prove particularly useful for adding definition when capturing soft sources.
Due to their age, some ribbon microphones cannot handle phantom power. Although the Fethead uses phantom power to power up its circuitry, this does not pass to the microphone so your ribbons will be kept safe at all times.
