Triton Audio Fethead Transformer

Philosophy

FetHead Transformer is a high quality inline microphone preamplifier. It provides a very warm and thick yet articulate sound for dynamic and ribbon microphones. FetHead Transformer’s desirable character is a really great addition to (interface) preamps which sound rather neutral. Our tried and true FET technology combined with a custom wound nickel core transformer delivers 28dB of transformer infused gain.

Operation

Your Fethead Transformer 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.

Recommended application

Our FetHead Transformer is recommended in the following situations:

• For tracking vocals and making podcasts
• Adding transformer sound to your signal chain
• Recording direct into a DAW interface
• Mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting
• Adding warm and thick focus to the sound source
