Warm Audio Fen-Tone

The ultimate ribbon microphone for instrumental recording

The Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is a reinterpretation of an iconic 1950s ribbon microphone, enriched with modern components, legendary tones and advanced features. Characterized by an 8-pattern polar pattern, it guarantees a sound rich in detail even at high sound pressures, perfect for guitar cabinets, horns, overheads for drums, piano and much more. Fen-tone includes a “Warm Lifter” in-line preamplifier that adds 26 dB of clean analog gain, ideal for setups with underperforming or underpowered preamplifiers.

Precise bass, full-bodied mids, smooth highs

Fen-tone reproduces powerful bass and rich mids, remaining faithful to the sound of the most sought-after small-format ribbon microphones. Frequencies above 15 kHz are softened for a result that is always present but never harsh or hissy.

Optimized for guitar and much more

Ideal on high SPL sources that require detail, such as electric guitar amplifiers, overheads and horn sections. Thanks to updated components, Fen-tone emphasizes detail in the midrange, making guitars shine even in the most complex mixes.

Selectable 26 dB analog Warm Lifter active preamplifier

Equipped with a selectable high-impedance 5k Ohm discrete JFET circuit, which allows direct use with low-quality audio interfaces or preamplifiers without loss of volume, tone or frequencies.

8-polar pattern

The bi-directional polar pattern reduces lateral noise, picking up only what is in front of and behind the microphone. Ideal for recording two acoustic instruments placed opposite each other, with less interference between the sources.
