What types of microphones are compatible with the FetHead?

The FetHead is compatible with both ribbon and dynamic microphones.

Does the FetHead require phantom power?

Yes, the FetHead utilizes phantom power to provide clean gain for the microphones.

Can the FetHead be used in various settings?

Yes, the FetHead is suitable for use at home, in the studio, on tour, and more.

For some reason this is making the noise floor and the mic input louder, any idea why?

Maybe it’s your mic or preamp. This should reduce your need for gain and lower the floor.

Why does it say it’s for condenser microphones in the description but shows dynamic mics in the pictures?

The product received may not match the description. Consider reaching out to the seller for a resolution.

I have a Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. Should I use the phantom power with the microphone and the pre-amp? Microphone: Shure SM7b

You can use the setup with or without the phantom power. It’s recommended to test and compare to determine the best option for your specific setup.

Fethead safe for use with an R88 Ribbon?

According to TRITON the Fethead should be compatible with ribbons as it will not allow phantom power to pass on to the R88.

What is the range for input impedance?

Nominal impedance of the TRITON AUDIO FetHead is 22K, making it essentially "transparent" for various microphones.

The K6 option is expensive, can I use this for the Sennheiser instead?

You can use it for ANY mic with an XLR connection. Keep in mind that dynamic microphones need more gain than condenser mics.

Are these good for live band singer performance?

Yes, because it boosts your microphone and adds 27dB of clean gain.

Which end of the preamp goes to the microphone and which end to the cable?

Looking at the photo, the top end goes into the cable and the bottom end into the equipment, also because you have to use XLR cables, the orientation helps.

How does the Fethead compare with Soyuz Launcher?

For amplifying the output of a Shure SM7B dynamic microphone, the Triton FetHead works excellently with plenty of gain and no added noise. Consider the more expensive product if it offers specific advantages for your needs.

Triton Audio FetHead in-Line Microphone Preamp

The Triton Audio FetHead in-line microphone preamp is praised for its ability to boost low output mics while keeping audio levels low to avoid noise. The product also effectively removes pre-amp noise, making audio pick-ups clearer. The build quality is rugged and clean, and the packaging is convenient and small. The product is highly recommended for both studio equipment and live performances. However, some customers experienced artifacts such as flashes of static and pops when turned up beyond 5-6 on the preamp. A few customers found the product ineffective or claimed to encounter technical issues with it. Some customers preferred more expensive alternatives, such as the Soyuz Launcher or Cloudlifter.
