Tritonaudio FetHead - Studio Preamplifier

Product Information

It runs on phantom power, meaning no external power, and is a quick fix for low output passive microphones. These are honorable mentions, however, they are often too expensive for many newcomers to the music industry.

Last but not least, the FetHead also provides an uncomplicated solution in live situations where the microphone preamp that is to be used produces too much noise once a certain gain level is exceeded – a common occurrence for bands and artists who have to adapt to different conditions from one night to the next, mike up quiet instruments, and feed the signal into mixing boards of varying quality.

As popular as they are though, alternatives do exist, some of which are more friendly on the wallet and others which have additional features.Being a direct-to-mic activator, the DM-1 plugs directly into the microphone thus eliminating the need for a second XLR cord. While it does have a bigger footprint than the FetHead, the Cloudlifter is cram-packed full of functionality and is at home in a home studio environment, or in the bottom of a bag. I tried a few different mic activators/preamps: The Triton Audio Fethead, sE Electronics Dynamite DM-1 and the Cloudlifter CL-1. Triton Audio has created a powerful little device it’s FetHead (and FetHead Phantom for condenser microphones) that allows an artist of any budget to reach their fullest potential.
