TritonAudio FetHead Reviews

Still a good buy

The best for the price you'll ever get.

Exactly what I needed

This little baby brought my sm7b to the next level!

Powerhouse

Goes great with Shure SM 7B & Universal Audio Apollo twin

Does the job. Looks nice.

Not too convinced

I've been using the FetHead for about three years and... honestly, it could be better.

It was working pretty well in the beginning, doing its job, no distortion, highs or lows boost, reasonable product for the price. But after about 2 years of using it the contact isn't as snug as it used to be, causing my mic to produce only static noise when moved.

Simply put, great for beginners, does its job, but sadly not great longetivity in my specific case.

way more preamp power for the prize.

This preamp is pretty awesome. I have used it with my shure dynamic mic and it sounds great. It provides a lot of clean gain with some buzz if you crank it up too much. Altogether, I think the TritonAudio Fethead does so much especially at the price point.

Great product

Been using it for 4 years paired with shure SM7B. It boosts the Mic enough for it to sound clear. If you want to hear how it sounds you can check out band called Fools on Parade

Bought to provide a clean gain boost for my SM58 microphone, does exactly as expected at a great price.

Great clean boost

It does what it says to perfection clean 20-28db boost without any extra noise.

5/5 would recommend

Great inline preamp

I use it with Shure SM7b, which is known for it's low level signal.

It is noisier, than cloudlifter and noise has distinct hum in it, but still very useful.

Makes my mic's better, and no noisy preamp!

I have used these on extremely low volume recording on my muted piano and even the room mics. Everyone always asks how did you do it, well Fethead is the answer. I also used it with the Shure SM7B, so 5 stars from me!

None intrusive

Yes you could pay double for a cloudlifter, but for me the none intrusive style of the Fethead did it for me.

I use this with my Shure Sm7b, whoa that girl is gain hungry, but the Fethead handles it like a boss, be it connected to my audio interface or straight into the mic, it really doesn't matter it feeds that mic with the gain it needs.

My preferred connection is straight into the Sm7b then xlr to audio interface, people just don't see it as it looks just like some fancy xlr, that's what I mean about none intrusive, there is seriously minimal white noise, even at the highest levels.

I would pick a Fethead over any other, for me it's a no brainer, if you want to see it in action find me on YouTube "The Restless Natives" you will see how the Fethead just blends in.

Should you buy it, my opinion is, you would be silly not to.

Tritonaudio Fethead

In search of in-line preamps, I found Fethead to be perfect balance between portability and quality. Installation doesn't require additional XLR cables, you can plug it into mic diretly or in your main mic preamp. It has EIN of ~ -130 dBu(A) wich is top-of-the-line noise level and gives around 25dB of clean gain for your dynamic microphones.

I use it with my Shure SM7B and i have more than enough gain (Fethead + main preamp combined) even for whisper talk.

Highly recommend it if you have low-output dynamic mic and/or high noise mic preamps.

Great mic preamp

I use that with the R0DE PodMic and R0DE AI-1 interface. Without the FetHead I had to bump the gain all the way up and it was still somewhat quiet - with the FetHead I have the gain knob at a much lower setting and the output sounds great!

convenient for increasing the mic gain!

This has been very helpful in combination with the shure sm7b - it does a great job of giving me a lot more volume on the mic. it does have a certain amount of noise, but not too distracting and it can be fixed in post.

Powerful and convenient

Great preamp that provides solid power and does not require an extra XLR cable, unlike other options. Used it on my SM7B and it works wonders, the sound is clean and the gain is more than enough even with a cheap Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen interface.

Strong FetHead

This is a perfect extension for your Shure SM7B. It gives extra gain and it really helps!

Great product!

Maybe a faulty one?

My FetHead unfortunately tends to disconnect, causing the microphone to mute, depending on the position. Seems something inside isn't soldered very well. I will be probably buying Cloudlifter to repleace it.

Worth the money

I needed this to operate my Shure Sm7B mic. Having used a CloudLifter before, I wasn't sure if the Fethead would be any good. Honestly, it does sound great - and you can get a massive gain boost without any interference. There is a little hiss when you really crank it though, which I know isn't an issue with the CloudLifter.

My advise:

Fethead = does the job. Smaller, more compact. Cheaper alternative but not as clean as the CloudLifter in my opinion. It depends on what you're recording, really! Both will work just fine.

Sehr saubere Verstärkung

Ich verwende den TritonAudio FetHead in Verbindung mit einem Rode Podmic. Das Gain konnte ich deutlich reduzieren. Wo ich vorher bei vollem Pegel an meinem Yamaha AG03 gerade so verstanden werden konnte, bin ich jetzt auf etwa 6 von 10 und alles ist super. Das Rauschen hat nicht wirklich merkbar zugenommen, die Tonqualität ist definitiv als gut einzuordnen.

Das Produkt macht einen Premium Eindruck, insbesondere durch das wertige Logo an der Außenseite. Wieso auch immer ist der Fethead noch in einem Stoffbeutel eingewickelt und dann erneut in einer kleinen Pappdose verstaut - Zielgruppe sind definitiv die Audiophilen unter uns, die sich Technik ein wenig mehr kosten lassen.
