Ear Trumpet Labs Releases Myrtle Microphone — Early Broadcast Inspiration
The “unholy offspring” of former software developer Bricoleur Philip Graham, Ear Trumpet Labs and its utterly distinctive line of microphones has a look all its own.
The latest addition to Ear Trumpet’s family is the Myrtle microphone. Ideal for the live environment, the mic brings with it a sense of nostalgia that only broadcast microphones of yesteryear could rival, but has features relevant of today’s mic technology.
The Myrtle microphone is available now for $599 MSRP.
The vintage appeal of the Myrtle microphone begs to be serenaded.
Here are more details from Ear Trumpet Labs:
DESCRIPTION
Myrtle is stunning sounding and a visual treat. A perfect live mic for old-school stage vocal technique, she’s tuned to sound ideal from three inches to a foot away. She has a natural warmth of tone and crisp clarity that combine to make an extraordinarily natural sounding live mic. Cardioid pickup pattern (directional) with great rejection of off-pattern sound and integrated pop filter makes for easy use in a live mix. She has an eight-spring suspended capsule housing and a pivoting joint between the stainless steel suspension ring and the body.
