TRITON AUDIO FETHEAD Ge (GERMANIUM)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Triton FetHead Germanium is a high quality in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides a punchy and direct ‘larger than life’ germanium sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones adding classy Germanium harmonics. Sounding full and rich it is reminiscent of much higher priced vintage gear making FetHead Ges desirable coloration a really great addition to (Interface) preamps which sound rather neutral.

GERMANIUM FLAVOR
Germanium transistors were widely used in earliest transistor designs by Neve EMI Telefunken and Fairchild and have developed a reputation for a decidedly vintage mojo that remains sought after today. We created a novel hybrid circuit that consists of low noise JFets and a hand-selected ‘new old stock’ germanium transistor to take full advantage of the Germanium sound and at the same time achieve the same sonic quality we are known for.

PROTECTS THE MICROPHONE
Some ribbon microphone do not tolerate phantom power. FetHead Germanium circuit uses 48v phantom power but shields it from the microphone your microphone is protected.
