A new kind of microphone preamplifier The Triton FetHead Broadcast is an in-line microphone preamplifier specially designed to perform in harsh live environments. FetHead Broadcast offers 23dB of high quality, low noise amplification that can be applied to dynamic or condenser microphones when phantom power is transferred to the microphone
Live and broadcast environments In broadcast or live performance situations, a microphone signal often travels through long cables before reaching the mixer. When small microphone signals travel next to power lines or dim lighting cables, audible signal interference is likely to be induced in the microphone cable. Fethead Broadcast amplifies the microphone signal before the cable and dramatically improves the signal-to-noise ratio providing a much higher quality signal to the mixer. A low impedance output buffer is used to drive long cables (up to 3000 meters) at the output. Another advantage is that the FetHead Broadcast does not need main power or batteries.
Extremely easy to use Your Fethead will lock directly onto any microphone equipped with XLR, or anywhere else in the signal path between the microphone and the preamp / mixer. The electronics are housed in a rugged metal chassis with a balanced female XLR input and a balanced male XLR output, rugged enough for use at home, in the studio or on tour. Fethead uses phantom power to power its circuits, but does not pass phantom power to the microphone, so rest assured your ribbon mics are safe.
A clear improvement in the sound on the microphones We noticed an improvement on all the microphones tested. A Shure SM57, for example, sounds more responsive over a wider frequency range. When paired with a high-end dynamic microphone like a Sennheiser MD441 or Shure SM7, our FetHead really shines. Ribbon microphones also benefit greatly due to a much better impedance match. Fethead reduces the load on the microphone, giving it better transient response characteristics. FetHeads low noise signal amplification also extends the range of use of a ribbon microphone, making it more suitable for capturing softer sound sources.
