Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina Condensor Microphone

Ear Trumpet Labs create refined, handmade artisanal microphones one at a time in their Portland, Oregon workshop. As used by artists such as Milk Carton Kids, Jerry Douglas and Josh Rouse, the Edwina condensor microphone has become known as one of the ultimate microphones for acoustic and ensemble recording and performance. It especially shines for for acoustic instruments, which is why Acoustic Centre uses the Edwina for all of our video demos!

Edwina has the look of Captain Nemo’s control room and the smooth, detailed sound of the finest vocal mics. She has a large diaphragm cardioid condenser capsule mounted in a moderate sized retro-industrial head basket made from plumbing flanges and stainless steel bolts, which is suspended in a pivoting bracket for maximum positioning flexibility. This means she can work as an upright, side-address lollipop style, or as an end-address, with a simple twist of the pivot. She strikes the perfect balance on stage with her distinctive but not dominating looks. A great-sounding mic for stage or studio; vocals, overheads, room, acoustic instruments or electric cabinets.
