Handcrafted Precision

Our distinctive condenser mics are hand-built by a family business in Oregon. Designed for live performances, these retro-styled condenser mics deliver unmatched clarity, gain, and feedback resistance, allowing multiple players to gather around a single mic. Whether on a big stage, at your local venue, in the recording studio, or performance videos: hear your acoustic music the way it's meant to be heard.

 

Excellent feedback rejection

Engineered with a generous cardioid pattern and consistent frequency response, our microphones offer exceptional rejection off the back. Perfect for live settings, they provide unparalleled feedback rejection, changing the game for single-mic setups.

 

Preferred by Pros

For years, live sound has defaulted to equipment meant for loud stages and rock bands. Ear Trumpet Labs mics are finely tuned for the authentic tone of acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies—trusted by more than 20 Grammy-winning artists for their superior sound.

“It is a rare thing to find any product that ticks all the boxes, but Ear Trumpet mics do that, and then some. They look great, and they sound even better. They’re hardy enough to tour with, and sensitive enough for the finest recording work. To top it all, they’re made by an amazing small business that you can be proud to support.”
— Rhiannon Giddens, recipient of GRAMMY, Pulitzer Prize, and MacArthur Genius Grant

“Even though I did extensive research before buying your microphone I still wasn't prepared for how incredible this Myrtle sounds! It's literally the sound I've been chasing for decades! Thank you folks for such an amazing product, you've changed my life!” —Ron

“Our Ear Trumpets are like the sixth member of the band. They capture the pure sound of our instruments and voices, delivering it with clarity and precision. Not only do they sound incredible, their vintage aesthetic enhances our stage presence. We consistently have audience members comment on how great these microphones look and sound." —Lonely Heartstring Band

“We love this 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
