“I've used it for 3 gigs and the microphone is wonderful and everyone has been very complimentary on how great it sounds through the Fishman Loudbox. Audience members and musicians I play with who've heard me play every week for the past year are suddenly hearing nuances and subtleties and absolutely gushing about the difference. Delphina hits the ideal sweet spot--added volume and presence while still sounding natural and acoustic and everyone involved says it has been a real game changer for gigs. I've even started using it for livestreams and recordings on my YouTube channels. Some very discerning sound folks and musicians have been blown away by the sound, the pickup pattern and rejection, so kudos to your designs and craftsmanship.”

–Chauncey Canfield

“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.”

“They bring out the best in our sound and the audience is always giving complements! Thank you for making such wonderful microphones!”

–Cody W.

“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

“The EQ curve of Chantelle is perfect for my voice…I usually have to bump up the 1-3 K range but we ran it almost flat. Gives my voice great detail. Excellent!”

–John Oates

“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

“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

“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, TapeOp

"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

“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!”
—Jesse Tracey Paul, on Facebook

“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

“This microphone is perfect for our jazz/swing/blues sound. Warm & dreamy are the words audiences have used to describe it. Awesome investment in my instrument.”
—Sarah Elkins, on Facebook

“Really, stepping behind an Edwina is a whole other realm of vocal rig… it’s as night-and-day a difference as it can get from a 58, and we’ve been shocked at how perfectly it’s been holding up with a very loud stage volume and some manhandling. I’ve had the chance to use the Edwina in the studio and I’m just in love with this mic – it has such a pleasant sound and projects such a cool vibe, it makes getting killer takes a breeze.”

— Ben Wigler, Brooklyn, NY

“Edwina nods to the past without being trapped there; speaks a sepia-toned language but always in the present tense, offering (to my ear) smoke and clarity in equal measure: old-world romance meeting contemporary elegance and function. I don’t expect, here forward, to be without one.”

— Joe Henry

“Edwina is all I could have ever hoped for in a live microphone. Our performances have been taken to a different level entirely… I used her for vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, fiddle, and percussion to run her through the paces. She performed unbelievably. I was able to attain a gain structure I had never been able to get out of any other large diaphragm condenser... I am a believer.”

— Scott Nelson, Flatland Harmony Experiment
