Excellent silent pre-amp
EdEditz 19.08.2022
Whenever I buy a Ribbon mic, I always get one of these with it because it makes a world of difference in the sound level and therefor the noise floor. You can also use them with dynamic mics to really boost the level. This one is very transparent and won't color the sound.

So simple and yet so effective
BRandySavage 24.02.2022
I bought this little guy to pair alongside a Rode Podmic. I have tested the mic both with and without the FetAmp. This tiny piece works wonders and really amplifies the sound of the Podmic allowing me to use the Mic with my Mixer with little to no gain at all. Does exactly what it says it does.

Does the job perfectly, needs more recognition
Ronfontu 25.01.2021
Little disclaimer: I would have gone for the Klark Teknik CT1 if it were in stock but I needed an preamp asap.

This preamp does a good job and needs more recognition imo.
There is not much to say, go for it if you want to save money and avoid overpriced stuff. I used this with the Rode Podmic (I have 2 of each) and it let me put my gain way lower, reducing ambient noise. On the two FetAmps I have bought, one is a little bit loose when plugging it into the mic, that's why I gave it 4 stars. Other than that, I didn't have any problem. I would recommend this item.

loose fit for the SM 7B
da.vid 24.02.2022
No real issues, only that it fits the SM 7B (the only gear I tried it with) a bit loose. It clicks, but then keeps wobbly.

Cheap preamp for ribbon mic with good sound
Valery Kozhin 20.12.2021
It's a very good sound preamp for dynamic and ribbon microphones but quality of female XLR connector is a bit flimsy. Although this XLR connector is locked but it's a little shaky.

A must for SM7-B owners - Just works
GarethOB 27.09.2021
A simple little device that boosts the notoriously low output of the SM7-B very transparently, and doesn't need expensive preamps to boost it. The quality is a little flimsy (any of the others of tried are flimsy too), but if you're careful with it, it's a great buy

Why pay more they work great. Do a very clean job at amplifying my Ribbon microphone signals.
Banditman 12.10.2021
Two of these came with the two t.bone RB 500 kits from Thomann. Tested and amazed at the low noise level. Worth every penny. Packed very well indeed. Fast delivery. What amazes me I buy gear from Thomann, comes all the way over to Northeast of England at great prices. Yet never had a damaged box yet. Thank you Ladies and gentlemen Of Thomann. Once again a very happy customer.

Nice compliment to my SM7B
Ghost Town Kermit 17.12.2020
I use this with an SM7B running into a Behringer Xenyx QX2442 and then through Reaper for processing. It helps me get a really nice hot sound but without any hint of "strain". I recommend it highly unless you have some really good preamps. I'm a fan. Only complaint would be that the XLR connections are a tiny bit loose.

Ag
Simple and elegant solution to adding gain
Audio geek 09.05.2021
These FetAmps were bundled with the new SM7B microphones we purchased for a studio rebuild. They do exactly what they say on the tin and give the 7B a much needed boost. For some reason though when used with our Alice Series A desk we get a very low level buzz induced to the signal chain and this affects all three FetAmps and channels in any combination. If I try them all on another mixer (D&R Airmate) the buzz disappears altogether and the gain improvement is crystal clear so I can only attribute the issue to the Alice desk itself. Luckily the Alice has a good 60dB of adjustable gain and these channel are superbly quiet so we weren't in trouble. I still need to experiment further with another Alice Series A in the second studio and probably just need to add some decoupling to the channel strip to soft this buzzing issue. After all they are classic mixers and need a bit of TLC from time to time!

Very solid product
MariusHB 22.08.2021
I bought this alongside a Shure SM7B, effortless plug-and-play, the sound quality is not affected to any noticable extent.

Definitely a solid deal, it being offered as a bundle with the microphone made chosing very straight forward - Which personally is a plus, because I didn't want to spend ages also finding an amplifier.
