A Classic Ribbon Mic Reimagined
Warm Audio once again demonstrates why it’s considered a champion in the arena of classic microphone cloning with the WA-FT Fen-tone ribbon microphone. In addition to retaining a classic ’50s ribbon mic’s compact, pencil-style design with ventilated sides, Warm Audio kicked things up several notches by adding a custom Japanese ribbon, a rare-earth neodymium magnet, and a custom CineMag USA transformer. If that weren’t enough, the company included a selectable all-analog 26dB JFET in-line preamp! You’ll also benefit from the Fen-tone’s broad 30Hz to 15kHz frequency response and its hefty 148dB max SPL that collectively enable you to capture that timeless ribbon tone across a very wide variety of sources. Everything old is new again with the Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-tone ribbon microphone.

Vintage tones via contemporary components
The WA-FT Fen-tone deftly demonstrates that you don’t need potentially fragile, decades-old components to achieve true vintage sound. Its custom CineMag USA transformer, rare-earth neodymium magnet, and custom Japanese ribbon (99.1% aluminum, 1.8-micron thick) work in tandem to give you that sound on horns, electric guitars, drum overheads, and so much more.
In-line JFET preamp
An ingenious addition, the selectable 26dB in-line JFET preamp on the WA-FT Fen-tone enables you to use it with any audio interface preamp out there. Simply switch on +48-volt phantom power, and you’re ready to roll.
