Getting +25 dB Gain with RODE Procaster + Rodecaster Pro

Dr D, 15.11.2019

Before I had the TritonAudio Fethead connected to my Rode Procaster microphone, I had to set the pre-amp gain to + 35 dB on my Rodecaster Pro interface. Now with the Fethead between the mic and the audio interface, I have the gain set to just 10 dB. Overall the sound quality is virtually the same. I can barely hear the Noise Gate activation with the Fethead attached, however the EIN floor is -130 dBu with the Fethead, as opposed to the Rodecaster Pro EIN of -125 dBu. Therefore, I have slightly better SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) as the signal is stronger at lower pre-amp gain, plus the noise floor is lower, by around 5 decibels. The sound quality is extremely clean when recorded directly into my computer using Adobe Audition. So, I am very pleased with this product - it improves my input noise and means that I need very little audio interface gain to get a decent sound output.

Excellent

Joel David, 25.04.2020

I did not expect a little piece to have such a nice features and quality. Excellent addition to my Shure sm7b. Recording has become easier and simpler, provides and extra going and tone compared to condenser mics I have tried. I love my Shure sm7b even more and prefer it over other mics I have. Will recommend it for sure

If you have dynamic microphones this is very useful

Lightning Dragon Studios, 10.06.2019

Use: For Boosting the output of dynamic and ribbon mics by up to 27db
It does this well in a small form factor that's easy to carry
and fits almost anywhere
it's also well made being made almost entirely out of metal
Pros: works as it should without negatively affecting the sound
Great with dynamic mics that need lots of gain Shure sm57/58 and sm7b etc.
Cons: while it increases the gain without negatively changing the sound it's only as good as the equipment you use with it, it is not a preamp upgrade it only gives the preamps you have more gain range
Overall: i would recommend it

I highly recommend FetHead for use with any mic and preamp combination for the extra boost!

Georgy B, 01.03.2020

When using either a Shure SM7B into an Audient ID4 interface, I was having issues getting the gain high enough without introducing terrible amounts of hiss into the equation while doing some voiceover work. Adding the FetHead into the mix allowed me to back way off of the gain side as well as the output level and get pure, clean sound with little to no hiss. Great little device that can give clarity and gain for your mic.
