Its slim form factor and massive SPL handling capabilities make it a premier choice for taming harsh transients on cranked electric guitar cabinets, aggressive brass sections, and complex drum overheads, effectively rolling off digital harshness while preserving dense midrange articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOvercoming Output Limitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracking with traditional ribbon microphones typically involves fighting a notoriously low output level, a bottleneck that frequently necessitates the addition of expensive inline signal boosters. The WA-FT addresses this fundamental issue directly by integrating a switchable JFET \"Warm Lifter\" preamp circuit. When activated and supplied with standard 48V phantom power, this internal gain stage delivers a robust 26 dB of ultra-clean analog boost. This ensures seamless interfacing with everyday audio interface preamps and guarantees a pristine signal-to-noise ratio, even when capturing delicate acoustic performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHigh SPL Capability and CineMag Iron\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage ribbons are infamous for their fragility and susceptibility to physical damage from high sound pressure levels and air blasts. The WA-FT mitigates this risk by employing a custom 1.8-micron thick aluminum ribbon suspended in a powerful Neodymium magnetic field, allowing the capsule to effortlessly withstand a staggering 148 dB SPL. Paired with a premium US-made CineMag output transformer, the microphone captures a deeply focused low-end and imparts rich harmonic weight, ensuring your source material sounds finished and inherently musical before hitting your mix bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom 1.8-micron aluminum ribbon driven by powerful Neodymium magnets for an exceptionally detailed transient response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable passive\/active operation featuring the integrated JFET Warm Lifter preamp for +26 dB of clean output gain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-spec CineMag USA output transformer delivering true vintage weight and organic harmonic saturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassive 148 dB maximum SPL handling, perfectly tailored for close-miking loud guitar amplifiers and heavy percussion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreamlined, pencil-style chassis allowing for surgical microphone placement in crowded studio and live environments.\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\u003eOutput Transformer: 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: WA-FT microphone, heavy-duty storage case, mic clip, protective microphone sock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436368879953,"sku":"57392","price":596.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WarmAudioWA-FTFen-tone1.jpg?v=1775647873","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/warm-audio-wa-ft-fen-tone","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
