Edwina

 

VIDEOS

Ear Trumpet Labs’ distinctive microphones have become the new gold standard among Americana and bluegrass guitarists.
— Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Our most popular model, Edwina is a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone with great sound to match her distinctive but not dominating looks.

With meticulously tested, hand-wired electronic components, Edwina is designed specifically for feedback rejection in demanding live settings. Her smooth, detailed sound excels at all kinds of stage duties, from vocals to acoustic instruments to drum overheads, and also shines in the studio as a warm, accurate recording mic. She is optimized as a single-source mic, but with a sweet spot from one out to 18 inches, she does great capturing voice and instrument together for solo or even two performers. 

Also available in stereo pairs. For single-micing larger groups, consider Louise, Myrtle, Josephine, Delphina, or the various bike gear models.

REVIEWS

"Lead vocals worked so well that I resisted pulling out mics that cost ten times more. That's unusual at this price point for a picky bastard like me." –Larry Crane
