TRITON AUDIO FetHead Broadcast Reviews
Neutral PreAmp for Condenser and Dynamic mic
The reason I got this was because I have a Lauten LS-208, which is a condenser mic with a very low output and I'm running it into my Motu M2. When I'm doing a quiet recording, I have to crank my gain high enough that I hear preamp noise, so I needed a preamp that provided or passed through phantom power. This was one of the only options I could find that were small, sonically transparent, and passed phantom power. When I use a dynamic, Its normally plugged into a Dynamite DM-1. First thing I noticed was it's a lot smaller than I expected. I thought it would be 4-6 inches long, but its more like 2.5 inches. Its smooth, buttonless, and looks pretty good next to a nice mic on a stand. Its actually smaller than the DM-1, which doesn't pass phantom, so that's very nice. My main issue with the build design is that it doesn't plug directly into a mic or interface. You need a cable or adapter on either end, which is an unfortunate design for a neutral preamp that costs $150. I haven't noticed an effect on the sound of my mic (other than volume) and the extra volume is very noticeable. If you don't need extra gain on a condenser mic, don't plan on getting a low sensitivity condenser, or don't mind having a stick of dynamite in your room then buy the Dynamite DM1. It's half the price, and adds 5db more of gain, but you cannot use it on condenser microphones. The only issue I have with recommending the DM1 is it is a small red stick that says "DYNAMITE" on the side, so it looks like a weapon of war, luckily it's just for your mic.
