Ear Trumpet Labs create refined, handmade artisanal microphones one at a time in their Portland, Oregon workshop.
Edna is a small-diaphragm side-address condenser microphone in a lollipop style housing made from plumbing flanges and stainless steel bolts. Acoustically very accurate, with a full, even frequency response, a neutral, natural character, and a very smooth high end. Because of her clarity and fast transient response she excels with acoustic instruments, especially guitar, but also violin, mandolin, and cello. She compares very well with any high-quality SDC.
Cardioid pickup pattern with great rejection of off-pattern sound makes for easy use in a live mix.
