Tuned for excellent feedback rejection

Our microphones’ consistent frequency response, generous cardioid pattern, and great rejection off the back make them the most feedback-proof live condensers available.

 

Warmth & clarity ideal for acoustic music

 For too long the default for live sound has been to use tools designed for loud stages and rock music. Our hand-crafted microphones are carefully tuned to convey the subtlety and authentic tone of acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies while rejecting feedback.

The depth and uniqueness of character of the ETL’s have allowed us to present, finally, the show we’ve heard in our heads this whole time.”
