Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-tone Instrument Ribbon Microphone

The Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-tone is an instrument ribbon microphone, inspired by ribbon microphones from the 1950s and featuring modern improvements. The 99.1% aluminum ribbon is 1.8 microns thick and is combined with a neodymium magnet and an American CineMag transformer for the warm, natural ribbon sound on guitar amplifiers, brass, drums, and vocals.

The special thing about the Fen-tone is the switchable built-in Warm Lifter preamp of 26 dB. This solves the low output of ribbon microphones, so that even simple preamps provide sufficient level (phantom power is then required). Without the Warm Lifter, the microphone works passively. A flight case, clamp, and wind cover are included.
