FetHead

Philosophy

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.

Operation

Your Fethead will latch straight onto any XLR equipped microphone, or anywhere else in the signal

path between microphone and preamp/mixer.

Fethead uses phantom power to power its circuitry, but doesn’t pass phantom power to the

microphone, so rest assured your ribbon mics are safe.

Recommended applications

Our FetHead is recommended for improving the signal to noise ratio and performance in the

following situations:

• Recording direct into a DAW interface

• Noisy or low gain preamps

• Mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting

• Passive ribbon microphones

• Dynamic microphones

Circuit topology

FetHead utilizes a low noise FET amplifier circuit configured as a balanced class A amplifier. It

reveals every detail with pinpoint accuracy and offers high end sound quality.

Phantom power

The circuit of our FetHead is powered with P48 phantom power to operate.

The International Electrotechnical Commission Standards Committee’s “Multimedia systems – Guide

to the recommended characteristics of analogue interfaces to achieve interoperability” (IEC

61938:2018) specifies parameters for microphone phantom power delivery.
