A new kind of microphone preamp
The Triton Phantom Blocker blocks phantom power while leaving the audio signal intact. Phantom power can be applied to either the male or female side of the Phantom Blocker's XLR connector and will not reach the opposite XLR connector, the audio signal travels unrestricted in both directions.
Setup
Before connecting the device you want to protect from phantom power, make sure your Phantom Blocker is connected to the cable and phantom power is enabled. Wait 5 seconds, during which time the Phantom Blockers' internal bleeder resistors will cancel out the voltage differences. Connecting in this order prevents the transfer of an initial AC voltage burst created by the phantom power being turned on.
A noticeable improvement in sound on microphones
We noticed an improvement on all microphones tested. A Shure SM57, for example, sounds more responsive across 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. The FetHeads low-noise signal amplification also extends the usable range of a ribbon microphone, making it better suited to capturing softer sound sources.
Features:
- Blocks phantom power but not the signal
- 3-pin XLR male to 3-pin XLR female
- Phantom power is blocked - audio signal remains intact
- Works in both directions
- Protects mic preamps, microphones and device outputs from phantom power
