FetHead Germanium

FetHead Germanium is high quality in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides improved sound for dynamic and ribbon microphones. Small, compact, but powerful, Fethead Germanium utilizes tried and true FET technology combined with a hand selected “New Old Stock” Germanium transistor to deliver 29dB's of Germanium Flavored boost. Operation Your Fethead Germanium will latch straight onto any XLR equipped microphone, and is ready for use with any type of studio setup. Fethead Germanium uses phantom power to power its circuitry, but doesn’t pass phantom power to the microphone, so rest assured your ribbon mics are safe. Recommended application Our FetHead Germanium is recommended in the following situations: ● Adding Germanium mojo to your signal chain ● Recording direct into a DAW interface ● Mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting ● Adding punchy midrange focus to the sound source Circuit topology Our FetHead Germanium utilizes an integrated FET-Germanium transistor circuit, which reveals every detail and infuses it with germanium harmonics. A low impedance output buffer provides output drive to long cables.
