Product Description
Operation
Your Fethead Phantom will latch straight onto any XLR equipped microphone, or anywhere else in the signal path between microphone and preamp/mixer. The electronics are housed in a robust metal chassis with a balanced female XLR input and a balanced male XLR output, rugged enough for use at home, in the studio or on tour.
- Allows phantom power to reach the microphone
- Adds 18dB of clean gain
- Great for mobile recording and camera microphones
Triton Audio FetHead Phantom
Preamp for condenser microphones
FetHead Phantom is an ultra-low noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for condenser microphones. Small, compact, but powerful, Fethead Phantom utilizes tried and true FET technology to deliver up to 18dB of clean boost. No more cranking your mic preamp and adding unwanted noise to get your microphone to an acceptable volume. Boost your microphone!
- Preamp for condenser microphones
- Low noise Class A FET amplifier
- 18 dB amplification (@3000 Ohm load)
- Lots of headroom
- Frequency response 30hz-100khz (+/- 1dB)
- Z-in 1000 Ω
- Circuit is powered with 24-48V phantom power
Which microphones benefit
FetHead Phantom is specially designed for condenser microphones. It works very well with all condenser microphones. FetHead Phantom is also an indispensable tool for mobile recording and a real upgrade for camera microphone preamps, because it lowers the noise floor.
Phantom power distribution
FetHead's Phantom circuit uses 48V phantom power but also passes it on from its input to the microphone. Your condenser mic is powered with the same phantom power.
Recommended applications
Our FetHead Phantom is recommended for improving the signal to noise ratio and performance in the following situations:
- Recording direct into a DAW interface
- Noisy or low gain preamps
- Mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting
- Handheld digital audio recorders
- Condenser microphones
- Miking all types of softer sound sources

This Triton FetHead Phantom worked as intended for me. It raised the dB coming from my microphone.This little preamp can be attached to the microphone, between to cables, or attached to the interface. It seems to function the same regardless of location placed. You may find this useful if you don't want to risk the slight chance of handling damage that may come from moving you mic a lot if you're in a situation where that is a concern. Alternatively, you may be on camera and the aesthetic just doesn't suit a certain location in your audio chain.For me, it loses a star due to minor damage / a manufacturing fault. When attaching the device to my xlr cable, the pressure applied caused the collet to come loose. This isn't major damage and doesn't affect how the device functions. Although, this may speak to the build quality. I may have just been unlucky with the one I received and it can be fixed with some new adhesive. Either way, this is a nuisance for me and may be for some buyers.

Shure MV7 in Verbindung mit einem Elgato Wave XLR, sehr leise Aufnahme Eingangspegel geht nicht über 36 db, da das Schre MV7 nicht mehr bringt. Mit dem FetHead kann man die Leistung des Interfaces voll ausschöpfen, theoretisch bis 75 db. Ich betreibe mein Shure z.Z. mit einer Eingangsverstärkung von nur 28 db. Wie man auf dem Foto sieht, ist noch viel Spielraum des Reglers nach rechts.
Meine Aufnahmen sind jetzt auch wenn ich sehr leise Spreche sehr deutlich und einer annehmbaren Lautstärke. Das FetHeat muss mit 48 Volt Phantomspeisung betrieben werde, dies aber NICHT an das Dynamische Mikrofon weitergibt.
Preislich gesehen liegt es schon an der Schmerzgrenze 10 oder 15 Euro weniger wären angenehm und ich denke angemessen.
