“Ear Trumpet Labs’ distinctive microphones have become the new gold standard among Americana and bluegrass guitarists.”

— David Knowles, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Closely matched stereo pair of Edwina, our flagship, most flexible model, a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone with the smooth sound to match her distinctive but not dominating looks.

The pair makes for an incredibly useful and flexible tool for all applications in the studio and on the stage. In stereo, they make ideal drum overheads and room mics. Use in x/y, spaced pair, or ORTF to capture beautiful stereo images of acoustic instruments or group performances. And, use the two for the perfect vocal and instrument mics for your next live performance.

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
Tape Op Full Review

"An accomplishes large-diaphragm mic with a tight cardioid polar pattern that makes it well suited to studio close miking and live-sound applications."
Sound on Sound Full Review

"I have yet to find a source that it sounds bad on. Rather than calling it a workhorse mic, it's more like the dark horse mic!"

“Wanted to reach out to share just how much we are loving these microphones. We recently brought them to a mid-sized outdoor venue, with some 500 people in attendance, multiple speakers down a long lawn etc. The production crew looked at me like we were crazy, until 3 minutes into sound check when everyone began tripping out on how wonderful they were performing on the large system. The sound guy was so stoked on them, and the whole crew was asking me about the microphones, where to purchase them etc.”

–Moonsville Collective

“I can put this mic on and know it’s doing 95 percent of the work for me. When it gets to the console, there’s very little corrective work that I have to do and I can focus on making things fit or adding color or flavor. The off-axis rejection is absolutely incredible; its a large-diaphragm condenser, and there are often times that I can get more gain out of that than I can out of a 58… It doesn’t matter what application we’re using them on; their mics sound absolutely incredible.”

–Caleb Morris
FOH Engineer for Andra Day

“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.”

— Milk Carton Kids

“Incredible! Handled mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar and even my vocals with a flat EQ and delivered so much clarity and all the volume I needed. Thanks for the a great mic that lets creating music on stage be as easy as possible.”

— Bradley Meinerding, Over the Rhine

“Vocal blend is such an important part of our sound and the Edwina is perfect for achieving that. The sound it produces is so warm and the anti-feedback features are great. Sound guys always fall in love with this mic when we use it since it makes their job so easy.”

— T Sisters

"When we use a single mic and no monitors, we listen to each other’s note choices acoustically, and react based on the organic thing happening onstage. It’s also just more fun... It’s a production technique that gets overlooked—playing music for and with people instead of at people. The Edwina is a very useable tool for this approach."

— Bryan Sutton

“We love the Ear Trumpet vocal mic. It has a classic look, really smooth top end and it doesn’t seem to generate feedback- surprising off-axis rejection for a large diaphragm condenser. We’d want to use it just based on how it looks. We’re really glad it works so well, too!”

— Nick Forster, Hot Rize

“I love the warmth and clarity of these microphones. Their resistance to feedback is really remarkable. Whether we’re playing a noisy club, a basement, or outdoors on a large stage these mics have performed wonderfully. We’ve used the same mic technique with other condensers, but once we upgraded to Ear Trumpet Labs mics there was no comparison.”

— Zac Little, Saintseneca

“Finest vocal mic I’ve ever used. Nothing else will do. Edwina I love you. You know how I’m supposed to sound.”
—Joe Smothers, on Facebook

“Just circling back to tell you how much I like your Edwina mic, which I've had for a couple months now. It's so refreshing to have a natural sounding mic that just plain works and lets me focus on the music, not the gear. You've really made something special and it's making my studio time easier and more fun. Thanks again!”
—Brock Tyler, Calgary
