Ear Trumpet Labs Edna Condenser Microphone
The Ear Trumpet Labs Edna Condenser Microphone is made from materials like, brass, copper, junked metal and found objects. This highly industrial looking range of studio condenser microphones from Ear Trumpet Labs look like a pieces of art. Visually striking retro-industrial styling combined with great, accurate, detailed sound - Edna is tough and punchy. She's a small diaphragm side-address condenser microphone in a lollipop style housing made from plumbing flanges and stainless steel bolts. Extremely satisfying to hold in the hand, and great looking on stage as either a vocal or instrument mic, Edna also has the clarity and fast transient response to be a fine studio mic for acoustic instruments, electric guitars, or vocals. Cardioid pickup pattern (directional) with great rejection of off-axis sound makes for easy use in a live mix.

Ear Trumpet Labs Edna PRODUCT FEATURES:
Ear Trumpet Labs are boutique American mic manufacturers whose unique selling point is a slightly bizarre desire to construct microphones using junk metal — for want of a better description! Philip Graham, the company's proprietor, describes himself as a 'bricoleur' — bricolage meaning the 'art of assemblage', or making artwork from found or re-purposed objects and materials. Apparently the French root of the word means to fiddle or tinker, which seems quite appropriate!
ETL mics look like they've been knocked together from the debris shaken out of a a plumber's toolbox or found on a bicycle-repair shop floor, but don't be fooled: despite some design hints at early broadcast mics, the Ear Trumpet Labs range isn't about old reproductions of anything specific — these are all original 'assemblages', although the preamp circuitry is derived from a classic transformerless Schoeps design....Sound On Sound
