Warm Audio WA-2FT Fen-tone Ribbon Microphone Stereo Pair

The Warm Audio WA-2FT is a stereo pair of Fen-tone instrument ribbon microphones, inspired by ribbon microphones from the 1950s and featuring modern improvements. Each microphone has a custom-made Japanese ribbon made of 99.1% aluminum with a thickness of 1.8 microns, a neodymium magnet, and an American CineMag transformer for the warm, natural ribbon sound.

The special feature of the Fen-tone is the switchable built-in Warm Lifter preamp with 26 dB of gain. This solves the well-known problem of low output from ribbon microphones, so that even simple preamps provide sufficient level (phantom power is required for this). Without the Warm Lifter, the microphone simply operates passively. The pair is supplied in a flight case with clips and wind covers.
