Tailor-made for Condenser Microphones

If you're using a condenser mic, Triton Audio FetHead Phantom is guaranteed to take their performance to the highest level. This in-line mic preamp utilizes top-quality Class A FET technology to yield you up to 18dB of clean boost. The result is a cleaner signal with lower noise, greater sensitivity, and improved transient response. FetHead Phantom is a must-have upgrade for camera microphones, and since it passes phantom power, it makes deploying your condenser mics a walk in the park. If you want to get the best out of your microphones, stop cranking your mic pres past their usable range. Get FetHead Phantom, and enjoy a low-noise, squeaky-clean signal.

Convenient in-line design

Thanks to its convenient in-line design, FetHead Phantom is a breeze to use. It latches effortlessly onto any XLR-equipped microphone, or you can place it anywhere between your mic and preamplifier or console. It employs phantom power to power its circuitry, and also passes enough phantom power for your condenser mics. Beyond that, FetHead Phantom's electronics are housed in a durable metal chassis with balanced I/O. Here at Sweetwater, we've found this compact in-line preamp to be rugged enough for the most brutal of stage, broadcast, and field recording applications.

18dB of juice for your microphones

With 18dB of clean, FET-fueled gain on tap, Triton Audio FetHead Phantom will level up the performance of any mic you plug into it. Not only does it infuse your mics with agile responsiveness over a wider frequency range, it also lends a studio-level character to every mic you use it with. FetHead Phantom's low-impedance output buffer also enables you to drive long cables with less noise due to electromagnetic interference.

  • In-line mic preamp loaded with top-quality Class A FET technology

Pre-Amps for Congregational Mics

Great product and even more impressed by the Sales Engineer Shaka who recommended it. I described the issue and he then proceeded to ask for a little more information. Then he made the recommendation and did a subsequent follow up to ensure the product was working as desired. Short answer: Works Great!!! Purchased these pre-amps to improve the congregational sound for our church's live stream as well as sound feed into our Nursery. Thanks Shaka and Sweetwater!
Rated 5/5

Great find

I don't record many vocals so didn't buy a top end mic. The Fathead preamp added the extra boost that I needed to improve the quality of my recordings.
Rated 5/5

Excellent preamp for field/venue/meeting audio

These devices are top notch. I'm using them with a variety of phantom powered microphones and they work perfectly. Feeding them into a Tascam Procapture X8, which powers them nicely and the noise floor is as low as ever and the clean 'kick' is perfect. Obviously, the form factor of these units is also a huge plus, making them easy to drop into a field recording bag, with nearly zero weight.

I like these so much that I just ordered another, the "plain" FetHead, that does not pass through phantom power, for use in my vlog setup with a boom mic.
Rated 5/5

Simple and practical method to boost a signal

The Triton FetHead Phantom is a seamless and practical way to boost a signal by about 15 dB. Not only is this simple, it is quiet and with the 15dB of gain you have the advantage of using any ordinary mixer without requiring special purpose outboard gear. No issues - ever.
