This \"Fen-Tone\" bundle bridges the gap between classic, smooth ribbon character and modern component reliability, serving as an essential toolkit for advanced stereo tracking. Boasting a compact form factor and massive SPL handling capabilities, these microphones excel on electric guitar cabinets, drum overheads, brass, and string sections, delivering a naturally warm frequency response entirely devoid of harsh high-end resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eActive Circuitry for Massive Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the persistent challenges when tracking with traditional ribbon microphones is their inherently low output level, which frequently necessitates the use of external inline boosters. The WA-2FT pair bypasses this workflow bottleneck by featuring an integrated, switchable JFET \"Warm Lifter\" preamp. When engaged and powered by 48V phantom power, this active circuitry delivers a robust 26 dB of clean, analog gain. This allows engineers to interface the microphones directly with standard audio interface preamps without inducing unwanted noise, ensuring a pristine signal-to-noise ratio even on delicate acoustic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCineMag Transformers and Phase Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapturing a wide, immersive stereo field demands absolute phase coherence and identical frequency responses across both channels. The WA-2FT microphones are rigorously hand-matched to guarantee flawless spatial imaging. Internally, each microphone houses a custom 1.8-micron thick aluminum ribbon suspended in a powerful rare-earth Neodymium magnetic field, coupled to a premium CineMag USA output transformer. This specific acoustic architecture captures a tight, commanding low-end and intricate midrange detail, allowing your tracks to sit perfectly in dense mixes without requiring aggressive subtractive equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrictly hand-matched stereo pair ensuring flawless phase coherence for Blumlein and Mid-Side (M\/S) recording arrays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom 1.8-micron aluminum ribbons driven by powerful Neodymium magnets for exceptional transient response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable passive\/active operation featuring the internal JFET Warm Lifter preamp for +26 dB of clean gain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-spec CineMag USA output transformers delivering true vintage weight and organic harmonic saturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassive 148 dB maximum SPL handling, perfectly suited for close-miking cranked guitar amplifiers and heavy drum kits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone Type: Ribbon (Passive\/Active switchable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon Element: 99.1% Aluminum, 1.8-micron thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformers: Custom CineMag USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Preamp: Switchable JFET Warm Lifter (+26 dB gain, requires +48V Phantom Power)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 30 Hz – 15 kHz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 148 dB (1 kHz, THD ≤ 1%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (Passive Mode): -47 dBv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity (Active Mode): -21 dBv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: 2x WA-2FT microphones, heavy-duty flight case, 2x mic clips, 2x protective mic socks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436369568081,"sku":"58147","price":1169.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WarmAudioWA-2FTStereopairFen-Tone1.jpg?v=1775647856","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/warm-audio-wa-2ft-stereo-pair-fen-tone","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
