Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina Condenser Microphone
For a number of years people have requested a lower-profile ensemble mic. They wanted the sonic characteristics of Ear Trumpet’s most popular ensemble mic, Myrtle (full low-end response, flexibility for multiple players), with the portability and sleekness of the signature Edwina. Ear Trumpet have been building this hybrid model as a custom special order for a number of years and have now decided to introduce it to their 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 the standard Edwina, and adds a low-end tuned for accurately capturing acoustic instruments from any distance, just like the very popular Myrtle.
This model has been a favourite of Del McCoury’s for the last two years, and Ear Trumpet wanted to honour the silver-haired king of bluegrass in the product name… introducing Delphina!
