Warm Audio WA-2FT Fen-tone Stereo Pair

Stereo pair of WA-FT

WA-2FT – The ultimate ribbon microphone for instrumental recording Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is a faithful reinterpretation of a legendary ribbon microphone from the 1950s, here offered in stereo configuration with dedicated accessories. It delivers rich and detailed sound even at high sound pressure levels, perfect for stereo guitar cabinet setups, drum overhead, piano, brass and much more. Each microphone includes a Warm Lifter in-line preamplifier with 26 dB of clean analog gain, to achieve maximum performance even with low-power preamplifiers. Controlled bass, detailed mids, soft highs The stereo Fen-tone delivers deep bass frequencies and rich mids, maintaining the character of the most appreciated compact ribbon microphones. Highs beyond 15 kHz are always soft and present, without sibilants or harshness. Perfect for stereo sources Ideal for sound sources requiring detail and stereo image management: stereo guitar cabinets, drum overhead, pianos, brass sections and string groups. Updated components deliver precise detail in the midrange, useful for bringing guitars forward in complex mixes. Selectable 26 dB analog Warm Lifter active preamplifier Each microphone features a high-impedance discrete JFET circuit from 5k Ohm, allowing direct connection to interfaces or low-quality preamps without compromising volume, frequency and tone. Figure-8 polar pattern The 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, Texas Each microphone is manually inspected and tested by experienced technicians directly at Warm Audio's American headquarters.
