FetHead Phantom: Louder, Cleaner Audio for Condenser Microphones

Many consumer grade recorders like the Zoom H4n and even many cinema cameras have XLR microphone inputs that don’t provide enough amplification or gain. The result is that recordings can come out much quieter than you’d like. Sometimes it is also due to weak output levels from consumer grade microphones. Then in post production, you might boost the level only to find that there’s a bunch of hiss or self-noise.

The FetHead Phantom from Triton Audio solves this problem for condenser microphones like shotgun or boom microphones.
