Step back in time with the Warm Audio Fen-tone™, a meticulously crafted tribute to the legendary ribbon microphones that defined the golden age of recording. This modern interpretation draws inspiration from the iconic B&O design of the 1950s, bringing vintage character to contemporary studios with its compact, ventilated construction that fits perfectly into tight recording environments.
At the heart of this microphone lies a custom Japanese ribbon paired with a powerful Neodymium magnet system and premium CineMag USA transformer. These carefully selected components work together to produce the warm, vintage tone that ribbon microphones are renowned for, capturing the smooth, natural response that has made these mics a studio staple for decades.
The built-in analogue 26dB JFET preamp sets the Fen-tone apart from traditional passive ribbon designs, enabling active operation directly with modern audio interfaces. This thoughtful addition provides the smooth ribbon response across a wide variety of sources while maintaining the authentic character that makes ribbon microphones so sought after by recording professionals.
