Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina Condensor Microphone Ear Trumpet

Ear Trumpet Labs create refined, handmade artisanal microphones one at a time in their Portland, Oregon workshop. The Delphina is Ear Trumpet’s most popular special order, finally released as its own model. It sounds just like Myrtle, and looks like Edwina with a snappy brass bracket to set it apart.

For a number of years people have requested a lower-profile ensemble mic. They wanted the sonic characteristics of our most popular ensemble mic, Myrtle (full low-end response, flexibility for multiple players), with the portability and sleekness of our signature Edwina. This hybrid model has been built as a custom special order for a number of years and Ear Trumpet have decided to introduce it to their standard line of microphones. A large-diaphragm condenser microphone with distinctive but not domineering looks. Delphina takes the warm, detailed sound and astonishing feedback rejection of the standard Edwina, and adds a low-end tuned for accurately capturing acoustic instruments from any distance, just like the popular Myrtle.
