  • Made my NTG-2 usable!
If you have a mic with a high noise floor (sounds like hiss when the gain is turned up), this is your solution. I've had a Rode NTG-2 which is a notoriously weak condenser mic that I've never been happy with. I bought a Tascam DR-60D MkII which still resulted in an unacceptably high noise floor. However, the FetHead completely solved this issue both with the Tascam and recording directly into a C100 Mk2. The NTG-2 now sounds GREAT and this purchase has breathed new life into it. This FetHead requires phantom power but does NOT forward the phantom power, so condenser mics either need to use the phantom version of the FetHead or a battery, if supported. Triton Audio recommends this version with a battery for the NTG-2. The FetHead itself is small and plugs inline with the XLR cable. I really like this form factor as it's very easy to use and doesn't require an additional XLR cable. The quality of the FetHead was bad enough I'm not sure mine is genuine - the logo is off center and the FetHead itself isn't completely straight. It seems to work just fine though. All in all, considering the price and form factor this is a must buy if you need some additional clean gain. If you have hiss, buy this before trying anything else and avoid my mistake of buying increasingly expensive interfaces! ... show more

  • Clean gain that you’ll love!
No hiss no nothing! very good clean gain makes my voice sound incredible with the shure sm7b 10/10 would recommend to anyone who’s trying to power a dynamic mic!

  • Super clean and substantial gain for any use!
I love this thing. Truly brings my SM7B to life without adding too much noise. For those weaker DACs with lesser preamps built-in (looking at you Scarlett) this is an excellent upgrade to your setup. It adds very substantial gain and sounds clean. The thing is built well and while I don't think it should be used in a professional environment, I do think it's excellent value for the layperson. ... show more

  • Amazing results while maintaining a small foot print.
This past year, I've struggled with my microphone's gain since I'm practically yelling at the top of my lungs with my Shure SM57. I couldn't seem to get my voice loud enough, even with system wide post processing and my gain set to max on my audio interface. My hope was to use this mic for chat, some streaming, and music production. Thinking back now, I should've conducted more research with my gear and how low of a sensitivity the SM57 was. At the time, I was still a bit new to microphones, and what setup would pair well with each other. At the start of 2020, I had started off with a Shure SM57 & a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1, and boy did I learn the hard way about how much power was needed to push that mic to the point where people can actually hear me without the mic sitting inside my mouth essentially. Over time I've learned to cope with this handicap. That is until recently, where I started to do more research into my predicament and what possible ways I can go about to remedy this situation. I stumbled upon two choices, the Cloudlifter, and Fethead. Since i'm in a spot where space is limited on my work area, I resorted to the Fethead (I also liked the look of it as well). And man, let me tell you the relief that I had when I first attached it onto my mic. My voice still sounded clear, with just a small amount of hiss, but that is almost inaudible. The Fethead seamlessly attaches to the mic via Female XLR on one side to Male XLR on the other, meaning I wouldn't have to deal with having to use another XLR cable if I had gone with the Cloudlifter. I can honestly say that this was such a massive improvement, without having to buy a whole new setup. I recently switched over to the Motu M2, so I only did some tests between the M2 and the Komplete Audio. I found the M2 to work very well paired with the Fethead, and does sound just as clear without the Fethead (Though you'll still get some humming at higher gains). The Komplete Audio also sounded great, but definitely needed more gain compared. Overall, the Fethead is an amazing purchase if you need the extra boost in gains without sacrificing too much in terms of audio quality. ... show more

  • Lovely piece of equipment
It's very useful and it's really miniature aswell. Gives clean gain and works well. My only issue is this was my second unit, my first one felt like it added some kind of compression? But otherwise it's nice. A slightly better build quality would be nice

  • Light and a life saver when recording outside the studio
I have an RE20 which needs a lot of gain to get a decent level. It's a mic that rejects external noise and just captures what's in front of it which is what I needed to record a YouTube video. Unfortunately, I was doing voiceover work and only had a Tascam field recorder on me. The Tascam is great but it has a lot of preamp noise compared to an audio interface, especially when using a dynamic mic and turning the gain up. I put the Fethead on the RE20 and immediately was able to cut my gain by more than half which cut out almost all the noise and left me with levels that were higher than when my gain was set at double what I had before. On an audio interface this isn't and really shouldn't be needed, even with a cheaper interface. In a recording environment with an audio interface a tool like this is only really good for situations where you have something like a ribbon mic that you want to protect from phantom power because the interface only lets you control phantom power for 2 preamps at a time or in a situation where you have a noisy interface preamp and want to turn down the gain to get rid of that (but that's really rare). I haven't compared it to the Cloudlifter yet but I'd say both are nice to have in a studio environment. Neither should color your sound in any way you can really hear. I'd say the Cloudlifter has the advantage of letting you daisy chain XLR cables together in cases where you need a longer cable but don't have one. As far as specs go, the Fethead has around 7dB more gain than the CL-1 but that's not going to be a dealbreaker for most people. I may update this review after trying out the Cloudlifter when it arrives but I fully expect they both work and behave the same and just have different form factors and a tiny difference in specs. ... show more
