About this listing
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.Features:The Fen-tone includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.Use VT/+dB to switch between “vintage” mode (VT), where the mic is fully passive, or “active” mode (+dB), which adds a 26dB in-line Warm Lifter JFET preamp. Use the +dB setting when plugging directly into interfaces or underpowered mixer preamps. +dB does require phantom power.Note: Only have 48v on in +dB mode, and do not plug a cable connected to phantom power into the mic while in VT mode.A sleek, popular low-profile design makes mic placement easy for guitar, horns, strings, overheads, and more.The Fen-tone operates in figure-8 mode. The figure-8 polar pattern captures audio from directly in front of and behind the mic. This is great for off-axis rejection on the side, and tasteful capture of room reflections with strategic mic placement. Unlike some ribbons, Fen-tone has no “bright” or “dark” side due to central ribbon placement. This makes it easy to get consistent sonic performance.Technical SpecificationsProduct Description & External SpecsInspired By A Classic '50s Ribbon Mic With Modern Components & Iconic Tones.Instrument Ribbon Microphone With In-Line 26 dB Preamp.Selectable 26 dB In-Line Warm Lifter Preamp (Phantom Power Required).L: 6.7” | W: 1.5” | Weight: 0.67 lbs.DUAL MIC Included Accessories: Heavy-Duty Flight Case, (2x) Mic Clips, & (2x) Protective Mic Socks.Component & Internal SpecsCustom CineMag USA Transformer.USA Transformer.Powerful Rare-Earth Neodymium Magnet.99.1% Aluminum, 1.8-Micron Thick Ribbon.Polar Pattern: Figure-8.Frequency Response: 30 Hz – 15 kHz (+/- 3 dB).Performance SpecsMax SPL: 148 dB (1 kHz ≤ 1% T.H.D).Output Impedance: 300 Ohms (Passive) | 150 Ohms (Active).Sensitivity (Passive): -47 dBV Re. 1V/Pa | (Active): -21 dBV Re. 1V/Pa.
