The FetHead Filter from TritonAudio is a low-noise, in-line microphone preamplifier with a built-in 6 dB/octave high-pass filter, which has a corner frequency of 220 Hz. It can be used with microphones that exhibit an excessive proximity effect like long-motor ribbon mics and dynamic microphones. The electronics are housed in a metal chassis with a balanced 3-pin female XLR input and a balanced 3-pin male XLR output. It is suitable for use at home, in the studio, on tour, and more.
Features:
FetHead Filter is a high quality, phantom powered in-line preamp. It has a built-in high pass filter at 220Hz cutoff (other frequencies are available on request), this reduces the excessive low frequency/proximity effects
that some microphones exhibit, such as long motor ribbon mics. The filter elements are not directly in the signal path but are applied to the components which set the gain of the FetHead Filter's amplifier. This ensures frequency dependence and that the sonic characteristics of the FetHead Filter are preserved.
Proximity effect is a phenomenon that leads to an increase in low frequency response as you move the mic closer to the source. The closer you get, the bigger the bass boost. This effect might be cool to achieve a very deep radio voice, but on other sources it might be problematic. Our Fethead Filter helps to tame excessive low frequency buildup and guarantees clear sound.
