Product Description

The Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-tone is inspired by a classic 50s ribbon microphone 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.

PERFECT FOR INSTRUMENT RECORDING

The Warm Audio Fen-tone delivers rich detail at high SPLs making it the go-to mic for a variety of instruments sources. Fen-tone really shines guitar cabs, horns, drum overheads, pianos, and more. The upgraded components in Fen-tone deliver intricate midrange detail that helps guitars shine in dense mixes. In addition to custom, premium components, Fen-tone includes an in-line Warm Lifter preamp to add 26 dB of clean, analog gain to setups with inferior or underpowered preamps.

FIGURE-8 POLAR PATTERN

The figure-8 (or bidirectional) polar pattern of the Fen-tone means that the microphone will only pick up what is directly in front of it and behind it. Because ribbons only accept sounds from either side of the ribbon, the spaces above, below, and on either side are effectively dead zones where no sound is captured. This makes ribbon microphone uniquely suited for recording two acoustic instrumentalists facing each other, playing into either side of the mic without picking up additional bleed.

TIGHT LOWS, RICH MIDS, NO HARSH HIGHS

Fen-tone captures powerful bass and rich midrange, true to the sound profile of the most sought-after small-format ribbon microphone. In addition to the bass and midrange emphasis, Fen-tone shows off its warm “forgiving” tone by taming top-end harshness above 15 kHz for smooth presence without exaggerated sibilance or harshness.
