Cool. I have the same id14. You just saved me $99. Don’t think ai need a Fet head anymore. But please try for us the Soyuz Launcher maybe it sounds nicer too.
The preamps in the ID14 are of similar performance to the Fethead (ie. great) so I don’t think there is much to be gained by using one here. If you had a noisy interface like my Zoom H6 it would make a difference. I did think you sounded smoother without the Fethead, although there wasn’t a lot in it.
Its not much different to a classic mixing desk in my mind, the sort of colouration imo. I like it but there are more transparent options (eg just the massive gain option of an RME interface for one).
@@floriangladis you can get XLR resistors that will test preamp noise (if you can find one). It'll just plug in without a mic. If you're testing with a mic (a real world thing anyway) you can wrap it in towels and place it in a box and that should acoustically isolate it a fair bit.
I had a SM57 for a while and with my Audio interface(old version of Komplete Audio 6) even if I boost the gain to maximum I can barely hear myself and a lot of noise appears. I was thinking of this preamp and I think for speaking vocals will help me to get a clearer voice sound. I think my interface does not have that good of a preamp that is why I am thinking about buying one. What do you think? Also I've seen a triton with high pass filter not sure which to buy standard or with filter. Thank you!
Hmm, maybe try to get your hands on a preamp befor buying a new interface :) I would just take the default fethead, if it does not please you, just send it back and take a look around a new interface
Thank you for this video, I have a Shure SM7B with a Rode Rodecaster Duo, and in the background of my microphone there is consistent static or (EIN) is there any way I can minimize this, and would the Fethead help troubleshoot this, or would I be better off looking for better softwares for sensitivity?
Put the audio samples of the two mics back to back in the video. A/B between so we can hear/see the difference.
Awesome thanks man👍
Thanks for this video!

Yea, you don't really need a Fethead in this case. True. Just wanted to test it though.
we use golden age passive ribbons w fethead,,, good,,, but ribbon flavor becomes fet flavor

The issue with this test method is that, that you hear so much room noise, that it becomes hard to hear noise from microphone and preamp.
I am sorry. Best I could do :(
