{"product_id":"triton-audio-fethead-broadcast-355450","title":"Fethead Broadcast","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA FetHead Variant Designed for Live Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the Triton range, the \u003cstrong\u003eFetHead Broadcast\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out with a \u003cstrong\u003elive\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebroadcast\u003c\/strong\u003e-oriented approach: the goal is not just to add gain, but to do so \u003cstrong\u003eas close to the microphone as possible\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the signal travels through cables prone to picking up interference and noise (lighting, mains power, multicore cables, etc.). This version emphasizes \u003cstrong\u003estability\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elow output impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the use of \u003cstrong\u003ephantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e for reliable operation without external power supplies or batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Triton FetHead Broadcast is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003elive sound engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e, stage technicians, broadcast control rooms, theaters, houses of worship, mobile studios, as well as content creators working with \"studio-like\" setups (distant microphones, long cables, electrically noisy environments). It is especially useful if you use \u003cstrong\u003edynamic microphones with low output levels\u003c\/strong\u003e (spoken voice, interviews, reporting, podcasts, streaming), or if you want to \u003cstrong\u003esecure a microphone signal\u003c\/strong\u003e before a long run to the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, it allows you to \u003cstrong\u003ereduce the demand on the gain\u003c\/strong\u003e of the mixer\/rack preamp, which helps lower noise and improve intelligibility, particularly for vocals. With ribbon microphones, it can also enhance the sound by providing a \u003cstrong\u003ebetter impedance match\u003c\/strong\u003e and a livelier transient response, as long as your chain is safely configured regarding phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Audio Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGain Before the Cable: Cleaner Signal at the Destination\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe principle of the FetHead Broadcast is simple and highly effective: \u003cstrong\u003eboost the microphone signal as early as possible\u003c\/strong\u003e. This way, the \"strengthened\" signal is less vulnerable to electromagnetic interference picked up along the cable, improving the overall \u003cstrong\u003esignal-to-noise ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result: clearer vocals, more comfortable gain headroom, and better consistency when long cable runs are required on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClass A JFET Amplification: Low Noise, Dynamic Feel\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FetHead Broadcast relies on an \u003cstrong\u003eextremely quiet Class A JFET amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e. This architecture is appreciated for its ability to provide \u003cstrong\u003eclean\u003c\/strong\u003e and stable gain, ideal when you want to preserve the character of a microphone (dynamic, ribbon, or condenser) without adding harshness. In typical stage and touring setups, it often delivers a sensation of a \"more responsive\" microphone and a more usable frequency range, especially on vocals and moderate sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePower and Phantom: Integration Made for Broadcast\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage in professional conditions: the FetHead Broadcast \u003cstrong\u003erequires no external power supply or batteries\u003c\/strong\u003e. It uses the \u003cstrong\u003ephantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e from the preamp\/console to power its circuits and, depending on the configuration, can also \u003cstrong\u003epass sufficient phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e to feed a microphone that needs it. This makes it a very practical tool when switching between dynamic and condenser microphones on the same type of XLR chain, while maintaining quick deployment in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eField Reliability: Metal Chassis and Protections\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be connected directly to the microphone or inserted anywhere between the mic and preamp, the FetHead Broadcast features balanced XLR connectors and a \u003cstrong\u003erobust metal chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e. Protections (overvoltage, polarity reversal) enhance reliability during performances, where quick connections, power strips, and patch bays can put equipment under stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e25 dB (3 kOhm load)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance (Z-in)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e680 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecified amplification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e23 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e40 Hz - 100 kHz (+\/- 1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Triton Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359561109779,"sku":"355450","price":94.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/168a7c5853dec31b6d58dcac2fce8f59dfcaa8a6_TRITON_FETHEAD_BROADCAST.jpg?v=1792592279","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/triton-audio-fethead-broadcast-355450","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
