With the Warm Audio WA-2FT Fen-tone, you're holding much more than a simple ribbon microphone. This model revisits the vintage elegance of the 1950s while incorporating modern technology. Its extremely thin Japanese ribbon (1.8 microns) and custom-made CineMag USA transformer are no accident: they bring harmonic richness, striking details, and the dynamics typical of high-end recordings.

Imagine capturing the sonic essence of a roaring electric guitar or revealing the natural warmth of a saxophone with almost palpable fidelity. The Fen-tone microphones make no compromises: every element has been designed to support you in productions where every sonic nuance counts.

These microphones display a strong personality, thanks in part to their figure-eight polar pattern, which captures both the front and the rear. This opens up wonderful possibilities in the studio, particularly for recording instruments in stereo or creating an immersive atmosphere with natural reverb. You'll be surprised by their power despite their apparent discretion: with the integrated preamp offering +26 dB of gain, these microphones adapt effortlessly to consoles, audio interfaces, and modern equipment. No need to push your gain all the way! A duo with vintage charm, but devilishly effective in today's sound world.
