Ear Trumpet Labs Announces Evelyn Stereo Mic
Portland, OR-based mic developer Ear Trumpet Labs specialize in manufacturing handmade microphones with vintage aesthetics and modern electronics.
Their new Evelyn stereo mic consists of two medium-diaphragm capsules spaced just enough for proper ORTF stereo recording. The microphones in Evelyn are a matched-pair and can function for a variety of studio or live stereo recording applications.
Ear Trumpet Labs takes back to the future with the Evelyn stereo mic.
The Evelyn from Ear Trumpet Labs is available now for $1200 MSRP. Here are more details from ETL:
Evelyn is a stereo mic consisting of two closely matched medium-large diaphragm capsules mounted in individually pivoting head baskets spaced at the correct distance for the ORTF stereo recording technique. Both the capsules and the JFET transistors for each side of the stereo pair are exactingly hand-matched for perfect stereo imaging. The electronics are hand-wired using the finest components, and the result is spectacularly natural stereo sound.
Evelyn makes an easy-to-deploy stereo drum overhead or room mic, but she is also adept at many applications beyond standard stereo miking. With her heritage from the acclaimed Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina, one of the finest live mics available, Evelyn makes an ideal live miking solution for acoustic ensembles from traditional bluegrass bands to string quartets, with great feedback control and off-pattern rejection.
Of course the striking design of Evelyn complements the stunning sound; everyone will be pleased to work with her, and on a live stage she looks distinctive and gorgeous. Our solid designs are hand made from copper plumbing pipe and fixtures, electrical flanges, brass, and stainless steel.
