Review on 🎙️ FetHead TRITON Audio In-Line Microphone Preamp: Boosting Performance for Better Sound Quality by Mike Davis

No manufacturer of these things will tell you current draw, equivalent input noise, maximum input or output level, distortion, etc. etc. Specs are very tight. PREVIEW: I did some distortion measurements using a high quality German 24-bit interface and my own measurement system under development. I don't have an AP measurement system, so I don't promise absolute performance based on a single sample. So far this device appears to have distortion ranging from low at low frequencies to around 1% at -30dBV (peak < e.g. 0.030Vp output). From here it increases to about 4% at -17 dBV (peak). and climbing. Didn't appreciate it to the breaking point. (for consideration). The current consumption is approx. 3 mA at 48 V through (2) 5 kΩ with no signal. For a vocal mic I would use it without hesitation. When used with a dynamic mic it does what it's supposed to do for the voice. I wouldn't compare it to a $3,000 high-end mic pre, but $90 per channel is fine. Additional tests will be carried out.
