Edwina is a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone with great sound to match her distinctive but not dominating looks. The most popular model from Portland-based mic building workshop Ear Trumpet Labs.

With meticulously tested, hand-wired electronic components, Edwina is designed specifically for feedback rejection in demanding live settings. Her smooth, detailed sound excels at all kinds of stage duties, from vocals to acoustic instruments to drum overheads, and also shines in the studio as a warm, accurate recording mic. She is optimized as a single-source mic, but with a sweet spot from one out to 18 inches, she does great capturing voice and instrument together for solo or even two performers.

• Hand-made microphone with unique appearance
• Side or end address, using pivoting bracket
• Capsule and electronics tuned for close to medium distance use on the most difficult stages with excellent feedback rejection
• Internal shock dampers for minimal handling noise
• Integral silk and mesh pop filter, for effective control of plosives without loss of clarity
• Transformerless FET fully balanced electronics
• Highest quality hand-wired electronic components - film caps, precision resistors, hand tested and matched transistors, with component values tuned for the individual circuit.

On stage and in studio for vocals, close-miking acoustic instruments (guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle), drum overheads, electric guitar cabinets.

"Lead vocals worked so well that I resisted pulling out mics that cost ten times more. That's unusual at this price point for a picky bastard like me." —Larry Crane, Tape Op Magazine

"An accomplished large-diaphragm mic with a tight cardioid polar pattern that makes it well suited to studio close miking and live-sound applications."  —Sound On Sound
