Why it's a good choice

The Triton Audio FETHEAD is a compact preamplifier that considerably improves the gain of your dynamic and ribbon microphones. Using a low-noise Class A FET circuit, it provides a clean gain boost of up to 27 dB without adding unwanted noise.

It connects in-line, directly on a microphone with an XLR output or anywhere between the mic and the preamp or mixer. Its electronics sit in a sturdy metal housing fitted with a female XLR input and a male XLR output, balanced. The circuit draws its current from 24 to 48 V phantom power but does not let it through to the microphone: an older ribbon mic that cannot tolerate it stays protected.

With a ribbon mic, the reduced load improves transient response, and the low-noise amplification extends the usable range toward softer sources. The manufacturer also states that it suits tube microphones and battery-powered microphones.

Who is it for?

  • Podcasters looking to improve their sound
  • Musicians who want to get the most out of their mics
  • Sound engineers in the studio or on stage
Expert tip: Use the FETHEAD to improve the quality of your vocal takes in a home studio, especially with low-sensitivity mics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FETHEAD need phantom power?
Yes. Its circuit runs on 24 to 48 V phantom power supplied by the preamp or mixer. It blocks that power at its output to the mic.
Which microphones does it work best with?
It is designed for ribbon, dynamic and tube mics. The manufacturer names the Shure SM57, the Shure SM7 and the Sennheiser MD441 among the dynamic mics that benefit from it.
Where does it go in the signal chain?
Directly on the mic's XLR connector, or elsewhere between the mic and the preamp or mixer.
What is the warranty?
Triton Audio gives the original purchaser a 24-month limited warranty from the date of purchase.
