“You know you’re supporting this small, personal company of this group of folks that are hand-making these things. That’s kind of cool as well, rather than just not really knowing where your microphone comes from. It’s pretty cool to know that there’s a lot of love and care that goes in to building these things.”

“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
“The Myrtle has made the sound of our livestreams exponentially better. Clear, clean highs, deeply resonant lows. With the headphones on, it sounds like we are playing on a theatre stage with a great house engineer. The mic looks as beautiful as it sounds, and it is very easy to set up. We will definitely be bringing this mic on the road with us when touring returns.”
–Mary Gauthier
GRAMMY-nominated folk songwriter
“We used Ear Trumpet Labs Edwinas and Louise throughout the Prescott Bluegrass Festival. Several days later I still have folks complementing me on how clean the sound was. As the main audio engineer on the event, I could not happier with the results of the Ear Trumpet Labs microphones we used though the weekend. They were simply fabulous. I even got them to work with stage monitors with no feedback!”
—Ted Leonard, Prescott Pro Sound
“The mics sound incredible (obviously) but also because they are so perfectly balanced and sensitive in all the right ways, they’ve allowed us to do our livestreams with a guest musician or two (always outside) while staying properly socially distanced from each other. We truly feel like these mics have been our partners.”
–Sean Watkins
Watkins Family Hour, Nickel Creek
“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
“Thanks ya’ll... been trying to get these tones since I was 15 years old… With dear Delphina, I can finally capture my sound, usually don’t even touch the EQ. Thank you for the inspiring microphone. I could be happy with this for the rest of my recording days. All my other mics have gathered dust. Ya’ll made my desert island microphone!”
—Hamid Shibata Bennett
"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've been going pretty heavy for this summer tour and have been loving having Evelyn out with us! We've been using it every show since you sent it. It sounds great. Super warm. The stereo image is super wide but can be narrow and focussed if you want. We're loving it. We've been using it for our breakdown set each night."
—Taylor Nyquist, Production Manager & FOH
Old Crow Medicine Show
“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
“We should have made the upgrade years ago. The sound is full and crisp. We no longer have the muffled sound of our dynamic mics. We eliminated four microphones, countless cables, 2 mic stands and two DI’s with just one Louis. The Improvement of harmonies and the enjoyment of singing around a single mic can not be put into words. A clean looking stage and an improved overall sound. As far as feedback goes it was not an issue. There’s actually less feedback than our previous set up due to the fact that we had four less microphones on stage. We are huge fans of Ear Trumpet Labs!”
