Warm Audio WA-FT – Fen-tone Instrument Ribbon Microphone With Selectable In-Line Preamp (Single)

The Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is inspired by a classic 50s ribbon mic built with upgraded, modern components to deliver iconic tones. Like the original B&O design, the Warm Audio Fen-tone recreates the compact, pencil-style design with ventilated sides that can easily be placed in crowded recording environments. Unlike the original, Fen-tone features modern upgrades including a custom Japanese ribbon, rare-earth Neodymium magnet, and CineMag USA transformer to deliver the iconic ribbon tones made popular in contemporary music on electric guitars, overheads, horns, and many more sources. Fen-tone adds an all-analog 26 dB JFET in-line preamp, allowing for active use - a critical feature for using ribbons directly with underpowered interface preamps.
