It provides a punchy and direct, ‘larger than life’ germanium sound for ribbon and dynamic microphones, adding classy Germanium harmonics. Sounding full and rich it is reminiscent of much higher priced vintage gear, making FetHead Ge's desirable coloration a really great addition to (Interface) preamps which sound rather neutral. Germanium transistors were widely used in earliest transistor designs by Neve, EMI, Telefunken, and Fairchild, and have developed a reputation for a decidedly vintage mojo that remains sought after today. We created a novel hybrid circuit that consists of low noise JFets and a hand-selected ‘new old stock’ germanium transistor to take full advantage of the "Germanium" sound and at the same time achieve the same sonic quality we are known for. Some ribbon microphone do not tolerate phantom power. FetHead Germanium circuit uses 48v phantom power but shields it from the microphone, your microphone is protected.

The first thing I noticed was less gain is needed after installing. But for vocals I couldn’t even notice any difference while hearing records I did. So I think it might do more of a better job for musical instruments. ALSO if you’re using sm58 for podcasts, just tweak with EQ’s and this mic will sound soooo goood! I’m using this mic for almost everything including podcasts. Its a great mic. And if your buying it to reduce white noise or ambient noise, this doesn’t solve it. You gotta buy a good/decent soundboard/mixer to reduce white noise AND treat the room your podcasting in, close AC put carpets on the floor etc. to reduce ambient noise. And so you’ll have a great time podcasting/streaming. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh - my - god, what a difference *by C***X on 8 February 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Advertised! Plug'n'play. Zero Hiss.
