The "Phantom" Version of the Famous FetHead Family
From the renowned FetHead range, the FetHead Phantom is the version dedicated to condenser microphones. Unlike the standard model designed for dynamics, this version passes phantom power through to the microphone. This provides a transparent additional gain before your main preamp, ideal for preserving clarity and dynamics in both mobile and studio recordings.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Designed for vocals, acoustic instruments, podcasts, streaming, and camera capture, the FetHead Phantom targets creators who want a stronger and cleaner signal right from the source. It is especially suited for home studio setups and shoots where reducing hiss, improving gain margin, and achieving consistent sound regardless of the downstream preamp are desired.
Features and Key Benefits
Clean Class A JFET Gain
Its Class A JFET amplifier, composed of 4 matched JFETs, delivers up to 18 dB of clean amplification. The result: a clean level boost without noticeable coloration, relieving your main preamp and reducing background noise.
Condenser Compatibility and 48V Pass-Through
Specifically designed for condenser microphones, the internal circuit utilizes 48V phantom power and passes it through to the microphone. You thus work with your usual microphone, fully powered, while benefiting from a perfectly controlled additional gain.
Robust and Simple Inline Format
The metal chassis houses a 3-pin female balanced XLR input and a 3-pin male balanced XLR output. Mounted directly on the microphone or inserted into the chain, the FetHead Phantom offers a compact, durable, and plug-and-play solution for stage, studio, and mobile recording.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Triton Audio FetHead Phantom compatible with a condenser microphone?
This model is designed for condenser microphones and passes 48 V phantom power to the mic. Its circuit uses this power to provide additional gain.
How much gain does this inline preamp provide?
The amplification reaches 18 dB with a 3 kOhm load. It is delivered by a class A stage with 4 matched JFETs.
Does the 48 V pass through the FetHead Phantom?
The 48 V phantom power is transmitted to the connected microphone. This way, the condenser mic remains powered while the signal benefits from inline gain.
What XLR connectors are included?
The metal housing includes a balanced 3-pin female XLR input and a balanced 3-pin male XLR output.
Can it help reduce preamp noise?
The 18 dB gain is applied before the main preamp, which allows reducing the load on the latter. This setup aims to lower background noise and preserve signal dynamics.
