Review on πŸŽ™οΈ FetHead TRITON Audio In-Line Microphone Preamp: Boosting Performance for Better Sound Quality by Sean Fabacher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent signal amplifier for dynamic microphones. Please note that they require phantom power.

Using Fetheads with Zoom H6 recorder and Shure SM58 microphones. The H6's preamps aren't powerful enough to boost dynamic mics, meaning you'll need to crank the zoom input volume to 7 or 8 to get a usable signal, which also raises the noise floor and results in an audible sound. noise in the background. With the fetheads connected to the mics each signal is boosted by about 20dB and I can turn the input volume down to about 3.5. Puff. The lower noise level disappears. Fetheads aren't cheap, but they're a lot cheaper than the competition and MUCH more comfortable. I've found them to wobble a bit between the mics and the cable and I wish they were a little tighter, but so far a little wobble doesn't seem to cause any sound issues. The time will show. So far I am a very satisfied customer.

Pros
  • practical thing
