TRITON AUDIO FetHead Phantom In-Line Microphone Preamp

I love this little thing so much. It works with every single one of my phantom powered microphones, and it seems to boost the quality, by providing better amplification than the preamps built into my zoom H4 essential recorder.So not only do you raise the volume, but you also give a lot more separation between the audio and the noise floor.I put the inline amplifier right by the microphone, and then have the cable running to the mixer or recorder. This way it boosts the signal before it is transmitted and is less likely to pick up noise .This thing works really well, and I will buy more as I need them for my ever expanding setup. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their existing microphones and recording setup.

Makes my condenser sound perfect. Before I had a lot of noise. None now and the tone of it seems to be a lot better. For those who say the connection is loose then only connect it to cables and not the mic. Mine fits my cables nice and snug. Love it. I have a Cloudlifter for my ribbon and dynamics but this for my condenser is great. I also have an Aston Stealth with built in boost.

Does the job at providing preamp for my AT2035. I have it connected to a Steinberg UR22 mk2, before I used to have to crank the gain on the Steinberg interface almost all the way up to get acceptable levels, causing the audio to lose some quality. With the Fethead hooked up, I barely need to turn the interface gain halfway to get the same levels, resulting in better quality. Normally I would've expected the opposite to happen with the Fethead increasing the noise floor, but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least to my ears).

I needed a preamp for my condenser mics for recording in a DAW using a gen 4 Scarlett interface. It boosted the volume while allowing me to keep the gain low. It is especially useful for micing an acoustic guitar, but it's great for vocals, too.

This Triton FetHead Phantom worked as intended for me. It raised the dB coming from my microphone.This little preamp can be attached to the microphone, between to cables, or attached to the interface. It seems to function the same regardless of location placed. You may find this useful if you don't want to risk the slight chance of handling damage that may come from moving you mic a lot if you're in a situation where that is a concern. Alternatively, you may be on camera and the aesthetic just doesn't suit a certain location in your audio chain.For me, it loses a star due to minor damage / a manufacturing fault. When attaching the device to my xlr cable, the pressure applied caused the collet to come loose. This isn't major damage and doesn't affect how the device functions. Although, this may speak to the build quality. I may have just been unlucky with the one I received and it can be fixed with some new adhesive. Either way, this is a nuisance for me and may be for some buyers.

The Triton FetHead Phantom is a fantastic microphone preamplifier that is perfect for both studio and live use. It is small and powerful, and it can significantly improve the sound quality of your condenser microphones.If you are looking for a way to take your recordings to the next level, then the FetHead Phantom is a great option. It is a versatile preamp that can be used with a variety of microphones and instruments, and it is sure to provide you with professional-sounding results.

Bought this pre amp to use with my Zoom H4N recorder. I am pleased with its performance and its ability to allow me to reduce input levels on my recorder to reduce and/or eliminate hiss. I noticed a significant reduction in noise floor when using a Boya PVM-1000 shot gun mic. I also tried it with an Audio-technica AT875R shot gun and found that through level adjustments I could improve its off axis rejection or make it really hot and extend its range. A nice side benefit I found that the FetHead acted as an adapter to allow me to connect the mic to the H4n without a cable. This makes for a nice compact hand held unit for capturing foley in the field

Ordered a fethead phantom to run between my scarlett solo and my se electronics x1s condenser mic. First 5 hours were like a dream come true and then the fethead phantom died. I did an exchange got the replacement in and it died within 2 hours. This is a miracle device when it works and a complete waste of money when it doesn't work. Now that I got a taste of the quality a preamp will add to my sound I will definitely be saving up for a real one, probably a rack mount, but as far as the fethead phantom goes I will not be wasting any more of my time on this product.Ps the seller MZ Photo was great it is not their fault that Triton audio has put out an unreliable product.
