Tritonaudio FetHead - Studio Preamplifier

Product Information

EIN is used for specifying noise levels in pre-amps. It’s quoted as a negative value in units of dBu, and the lower the EIN, the better. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. One of the biggest draws of the Cloudlifter is that it does not wildly distort your noise floor. This means you can expect clean gain with little to no added issues caused by adding this mic activator to your recording setup. Specs The load switching option adds to this flexibility and allows you to change the input impedance to see how your mic reacts to each one. Choose the one which works the best with your microphone. The preamps of yore, that’s the 60s and 70s to be precise, were built to dish out 70 to 80 dB of gain boost without flinching. Fast forward to 2021 and the abundance of high-output capacitor mics has eliminated the demand for them.

Nevertheless, FetHead wins out where budgets are concerned. While both devices are well suited for budget or mid-tier mic choices, they are built to last and may outlive your current microphone’s lifespan. Keep this in mind when considering the differences between the two. As of writing, the FetHead is significantly cheaper than the CL-1. The lower price point doesn’t mean the device is any less rugged, however, as the metal shielded enclosure is sturdy and of a premium build quality. Testing the Two The direct-to-mic design might bother content creators who find it visually unappealing for close up videos. That being said, it’s hardly an eyesore and smaller than you might expect. Ultimately, I omitted them because they are not quite as popular or are much of the same. The only exception to this is the Royer dBooster, which is a pricey but top-shelf unit. That said, it’s safe to say assume we’ve covered every mic booster worth contemplating in 2021. De pequeño tamaño y construcción sólida cumple lo que promete, amplificar la señal de tu micrófono SIEMPRE QUE SEA REALMENTE NECESARIO (y lo pongo en mayúsculas por que hay gente que lo usa sin necesidad de ello).Triton Audio is a European company which is based in the Netherlands and that’s where its FetHead unit it built. FetHead Phantom is an ultra-low noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for condenser microphones. Small, compact, but powerful, Fethead Phantom utilizes tried and true FET technology to deliver up to 18dB of clean boost. No more cranking your mic preamp and adding unwanted noise to get your microphone to an acceptable volume.Boost your microphone! The aim of the FetHead is to boost the signal cleanly by up to 20dB before hitting the mic-pre so you can use less gain and have a cleaner recording. It does this by using double jFET configured as a double class-A amplifier which is super clean and is conveniently powered by the phantom power from your pre. Phantom power is not passed through the FetHead and so you can use it safely with ribbon microphones (a phantom version is available if you want to use a FetHead with a condenser) One of the biggest worries with mic activators is that they will skew the frequency response. However, this is not an issue with FetHead, as it adds controllable clean gain up to 27dB. In setups with long cables, however, FetHead does help reduce noise as well as Cloudlifter does. Verdict 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.Boost your microphone!

FetHead Phantom is specially designed for condenser microphones. It works very well with all condenser microphones.FetHead Phantom is also an indispensable toolfor mobile recording and a real upgrade for camera microphone preamps, because it lowers the noise floor.Despite having a name that is reminiscent of an energy drink, McBoost delivers a robust boost with impeccable presentation. It boosts any low-level microphone you hurl at it. The price tag may pinch a bit, but it’s what you pay for the highest possible standard and most stable in-line boost. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. I’ve referenced the regular FetHead for this post. However, Triton Audio also offers FetHead Filter that has an extra HPF feature and FetHead Phantom for condenser microphones. 2. sE Electronics Dynamite DM-1 (Highest Gain)
