The Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is inspired by a classic 50s ribbon mic built with upgraded, modern components to deliver iconic tones. Like the original B&O design, the Warm Audio Fen-tone recreates the compact, pencil-style design with ventilated sides that can easily be placed in crowded recording environments. Unlike the original, Fen-tone features modern upgrades including a custom Japanese ribbon, rare-earth Neodymium magnet, and CineMag USA transformer to deliver the iconic ribbon tones made popular in contemporary music on electric guitars, overheads, horns, and many more sources. Fen-tone adds an all-analog 26 dB JFET in-line preamp, allowing for active use - a critical feature for using ribbons directly with underpowered interface preamps.
A ribbon hears a room the way your ears do.
- Figure-of-eight pattern
- Natural high-frequency roll off
- Handles loud sources without harshness

What is the WA-FT Fen-tone Instrument Ribbon Microphone?
Ribbon microphones capture the top end gently rather than exaggerating it, which is why they sit so well on guitar cabinets, brass and drum overheads where a bright condenser turns brittle. The figure-of-eight pattern also rejects sound from the sides, giving useful control over what the microphone does not hear.

Why choose Warm Audio?
Ribbons are the classic answer to a source that sounds harsh on everything else. They are the difference between taming a guitar amp at the source and fighting it with EQ afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
What is a ribbon microphone good for?
Guitar cabinets, brass, strings and drum overheads. Anywhere a condenser sounds harsh.
Does it need phantom power?
Passive ribbons do not, and phantom can damage some. Active models require it. Check the specification.

Modern ribbons are robust, but avoid blowing into them and use a windscreen outdoors.
