Description

Boost your microphone

FetHead is a low-noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for Ribbon and Dynamic microphones. The electronics are housed in a robust metal chassis with a balanced 3-pole female XLR input and a balanced 3-pole male XLR output, rugged enough for use at home, in the studio or on tour.



Which microphones benefit

In short, we noticed an improvement on all tested microphones. A Shure SM57 for instance, sounds more responsive over a broader frequency range. When mated with a high-end dynamic microphone like a Sennheiser MD441, or Shure SM7 FetHead really shines. Ribbon microphones benefit greatly too because of a much better impedance match, which lessens the load on the microphone, giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHeads high quality, low noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, making it more suitable for recording softer passages.



Protects the microphone

Some ribbon microphones do not tolerate phantom power. FetHead's circuit uses 48v phantom power but shields it from the microphone, the microphone is protected

I love it

I always use it to record music (acoustical and electric instruments and voice), paired with the Shure SM7B , and the sound coming out of it is a dream. The sound of the mic itself is of course very good , but paired with this FetHead it becomes much more powerful and dynamic, still tough retaining that broadcast mic compression that you expect from the SM7B. The combo has become my goto in 90% of application.

Durable, reliable, functional

I’ve had the same one for two years now. It does what it claims. Great investment.
