Triton Audio FetHead in-Line Microphone Preamp

Overview

Plugging in between a microphone and its cable, this tiny in-line preamp adds gain at the source of the signal. The body is small and light, and the spec table lists a voltage rating and a channel count.

An in-line unit is easy to add to an existing setup, and its size suits tight spaces. The listing leaves out gain, noise and input impedance figures, so matching it to a microphone has to come from the maker.

Who it's for

Users with a quiet microphone who want to add gain close to the source. Anyone who needs a full channel strip, or a unit with documented compatibility, should look at a larger preamp.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Placing gain right after the microphone lets the signal travel down the cable at a higher level, which reduces the noise picked up along the way. The result depends on the microphone's output and on the powering available.
