Jautājumi?
The Triton Audio FetHead Germanium is a premium in-line microphone preamp that combines the clean gain of the original FetHead with the rich harmonic character of a carefully selected NOS germanium transistor. Designed for dynamic and passive ribbon microphones, it delivers up to 29 dB of low-noise Class A gain while adding subtle analogue warmth, enhanced harmonics and gentle saturation. Powered entirely by standard 24–48 V phantom power, the FetHead Germanium blocks phantom voltage from reaching the connected microphone, making it an ideal choice for studio recording, broadcasting, podcasting and live performance where a touch of vintage character is desired.
