About This Item
The Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-Tone is a modern reimagining of one of the most iconic ribbon microphones of the 1950s. Combining vintage charm with cutting-edge engineering, the Fen-Tone delivers the smooth, warm, and rich ribbon sound that has shaped generations of classic recordings. Built with a custom CineMag USA transformer, a rare-earth neodymium magnet, and a custom Japanese ribbon crafted from 99.1% aluminum, this microphone captures the essence of vintage tone with exceptional accuracy and balance. The result is lush midrange character, silky top end, and natural depth across vocals, horns, guitars, and percussion. A standout feature of the Fen-Tone is its selectable 26dB analog JFET in-line preamp, which allows direct use with any audio interface or preamp. Simply engage phantom power (+48V) to activate the circuit, giving you a boosted, noise-free signal that maintains ribbon warmth without distortion. With a 30Hz–15kHz frequency response and 148dB maximum SPL, the Fen-Tone handles everything from intimate acoustic sessions to loud amplifiers with ease. Its classic figure-8 polar pattern ensures excellent off-axis rejection and beautiful room capture, perfect for both studio and live environments. Packaged with a heavy-duty flight case, mic clip, and protective mic sock, the WA-FT Fen-Tone offers engineers, musicians, and producers a professional-grade ribbon microphone built for timeless tone and modern performance.
