WA-2FTThe ultimate ribbon microphone for instrument recording Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is a faithful reinterpretation of a legendary 1950s ribbon microphone, offered here in a stereo configuration with dedicated accessories. It delivers a rich and detailed sound even at high sound pressure levels, perfect for stereo setups of guitar cabinets, drum overheads, pianos, wind instruments, and much more. Each microphone includes a 26 dB clean analog gain Warm Lifter in-line preamplifier, to achieve maximum performance even with low-power preamplifiers.Controlled lows, detailed mids, soft highsThe stereo Fen-tone delivers deep low frequencies and rich mids, maintaining the character of the most appreciated compact ribbon microphones. Highs above 15 kHz are always soft and present, without sibilance or harshness.Perfect for stereo sourcesIdeal for sound sources that require detail and stereo image management: stereo guitar cabinets, drum overheads, pianos, wind sections, and string groups. Updated components provide precise detail in the mid-range, useful for bringing out guitars in complex mixes.Selectable 26 dB analog active Warm Lifter preamplifierEach microphone is equipped with a high-impedance 5k Ohm discrete JFET circuit, which allows direct connection to interfaces or low-quality preamps without compromising volume, frequency, and tone.Figure-8 polar patternThe bi-directional pattern reduces lateral noise, ideal for recording two acoustic instruments facing each other, with minimal crosstalk. Also excellent for ambient and ensemble recordings.Quality control at Warm Audio HQ in Austin, TexasEach microphone is inspected and manually tested by expert technicians directly at Warm Audio's US headquarters.
