Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina 
Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

ABOUT EAR TRUMPET LABS
The hand-made microphones from our craft workshop are unlike anything else you've seen or heard. We combine state-of-the-art sound quality with playfully eclectic design– the perfect recipe for the creative performer.

DESCRIPTION
Our most popular special order, released as its own model! Sounds just like Myrtle, 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. We have been building this hybrid model as a custom special order for a number of years and have decided to introduce it to our 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 our standard Edwina, and adds a low-end tuned for accurately capturing acoustic instruments from any distance, just like our popular Myrtle.

This model has been a favorite of Del McCoury’s for the last two years, and we wanted to honor the silver-haired king of bluegrass in the product name… introducing Delphina!
