Product Information

Full details

The Triton Audio FetHead Broadcast is a high-performance in-line preamplifier specifically engineered for professionals in live streaming, podcasting, and broadcast environments. It serves as an essential tool for podcasters and broadcasters using dynamic or condenser microphones who need to boost signal gain without introducing noise, though it is important to note that it requires 48V phantom power to function, making it incompatible with devices or interfaces that cannot provide this power source.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need to plug the FetHead into a wall outlet?

No. The FetHead Broadcast is powered entirely by the 48V phantom power provided by your audio interface or mixer.

Can I use this with a condenser microphone?

Yes. The unit is designed to pass phantom power through to your microphone while using it to power its own internal circuitry.

Will this work with a battery-powered dynamic microphone?

Yes, provided the microphone supports phantom power or operates safely with it connected.

Does this add color or distortion to the sound?

The FetHead Broadcast is designed to be transparent, providing clean gain without adding coloration or distortion to your signal.

Can I use this with a line-level source?

No, this device is specifically engineered for microphone-level signals and is not intended for line-level instruments like synthesizers or keyboards.

Is it better to connect the FetHead at the mic or the interface?

For optimal signal-to-noise ratio performance, always connect the FetHead directly to the output of your microphone.

Troubleshooting

No signal detected after installation

Verify that your audio interface has 48V phantom power enabled and ensure the unit is firmly connected to the microphone.

Increased noise or humming

Check that all XLR cables are high-quality and properly shielded, and ensure the unit is connected directly to the mic rather than through a secondary adapter.

Microphone not powering on

Check your interface settings to ensure phantom power is not being blocked or disabled by a pad or ground lift switch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces signal noise floor
  • Extremely durable and compact chassis
  • No external power adapters or batteries needed
  • Protects audio quality over long cable runs
  • Compatible with both dynamic and condenser microphones

Cons

  • Requires 48V phantom power to operate
  • Not suitable for microphones that do not support phantom power
  • Must be connected directly to the microphone output for best performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the FetHead Broadcast, simply connect the female XLR end directly to your microphone's output port, then connect your XLR cable from the male end of the FetHead to your audio interface or mixer. Ensure that 48V phantom power is engaged on your interface to activate the device. The unit is compatible with standard dynamic microphones (like the Shure SM7B) and condenser microphones that require phantom power. To maintain the device, keep the XLR connections free of debris and store in a dry environment when not in use.
