Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-Tone Active/Passive Ribbon Microphone — Mint / Open Box (Tested in Active Mode)

Up for sale is a Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-Tone Ribbon Microphone, in mint condition with all original packaging and accessories. This mic arrived in a surprise box—I opened the packaging to inspect the contents and briefly plugged it in to verify functionality. It was tested in active (+26dB) mode using phantom power and sounds pristine. Beyond that single test, it is completely unused. Inspired by classic 1950s ribbon designs, the Fen-Tone delivers rich low end, thick midrange, and smooth, non-harsh high frequencies. It features a switchable +26dB JFET in-line preamp, giving you the flexibility to run it as a passive ribbon mic or switch on active mode for extra clean gain when plugged into standard audio interfaces. Key Features: Custom 1.8-micron Japanese aluminum ribbon for natural, detailed sound capture. USA-made CineMag transformer and Neodymium magnet structure. Switchable Active/Passive modes: Built-in +26dB in-line preamp (requires +48V phantom power when active). Figure-8 polar pattern with high max SPL handling (up to 148dB). Ideal for: Electric guitar cabs, drum overheads, acoustic instruments, horns, and room miking. Condition & Testing Note: Visual Condition: 10/10 Mint. No scratches, smudges, or wear. Operational Condition: Tested and fully operational in active (+26dB) mode using 48V phantom power. (Passive mode was not separately tested as I do not have a high-gain outboard preamp).
