Q: 1. I want to use this item with an H4N pro and sennheiser Me66 with a K6.My question is should I get this version or the version with phantom? (I will be using the aa battery in mY K6 and not using theH4Npros's phantom power)

A: Get this one. The Zoom H4N has its own phantom power.

Q: 2. When using a FetHead with phantom power can it be left in a constant on condition 24 hours and seven days a week? Is this advisable?

A: The TRITON AUDIO FetHead Phantom In-Line Microphone Preamp can be left on 24 hours 7 days a week. But I don't think it's advisable. You may shorten it's lifespan by doing so.

Q: 3. Is this appropriate to use with an MKE 600 and Zoom H5?

A: It would not be ideal to use the standard FetHead with the MKE 600, since the MKE 600 requires phantom power, and this version of the standard FetHead does not supply it. The standard FetHead is designed primarily for microphones that don't require external power. If you really need to pre-preamplify the MKE 600, it would be more appropriate to use the FetHead Phantom model. Otherwise, you would have to install a AA battery inside the MKE 600.

Q: 4. Is there any advantage to using this fethead when I already have my ntg3 connected to the nice preamps of a mixpre-d?

A: You will be able to use significantly less gain.

Q: 5. Works whit beta 87?

A: This would work with a Shure Beta87a.

Q: 6. Which version is better for ribbon microphones and ZOOM H6 recorder (with a phantom power on board)?

A: The FedHead Regular. Does not pass phantom to the ribbon microphone, and uses the phantom onboard the ZOOM to give gain to the ribbon mic.

Q: 7. Can this be used with an unbalanced stereo mic? Considering purchasing this to shield my AT2022 from phantom power but that mic outputs stereo on XLR.

A: sorry can't help with that one - i don't have a stereo mic so wouldn't know. fethead works great with my ribbon & SM7 though. try manufacturers (Triton Audio). good luck!

Q: 8. Will the Triton Audio FetHead In-Line Microphone Preamp work with the Sony ECM-44B - Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone?

A: The Sony ECM-44B is a condenser but can't be phantom powered. The ECM-44B requires an internal AA battery thus the FetHead Regular will work fine. If you want to use an ECM-55B or ECM-77B you'll need the FetHead Phantom unless you want to locally power the mic with an AA battery. Once locally powered, the mic will behave like a standard dynamic mic.

Q: 9. The rode NTG-2 has can power itself with a AA battery. Will that battery power transfer also the this Fethead or must the Fethead power come from the recorder? I would like to plug NTG-2/Fethead combo directly into mirrorless camera.

A: No, the battery power for the NTG-2 will not also power the TRITON AUDIO FetHead Phantom In-Line Microphone Preamp.

Q: 10. Is the the regular version the correct one to use with an h4n and rode ntg2 combo?

A: Yes if you power the NTG2 with internal batteries and feed the Fethead with phantom power from the H4N. Would be best to buy the Fethead specifically designed for use with condenser mics that passes power to the NTG2.
