Features

Ear Trumpet Labs Louise

Large-diaphragm condenser microphone spring-suspended in a pivoting slim stainless steel ring. Tuned for live performance use, ideal for micing small acoustic ensembles. The new classic bluegrass mic.

Louise has the clarity, gain, feedback resistance, and full, natural frequency response to change the game when it comes to live single-mic situations. She has a pleasing high end with no harshness, and a sound that performers, audiences, and engineers all describe as astonishingly natural.

She can also bring that winning sound into the studio, capturing vocals and acoustic instruments with straightforward clarity.

Acoustically identical to Josephine and the various bike gear models. For a slightly warmer, mellower sound for the same applications, consider Myrtle

FEATURES

• Hand-made microphone with unique appearance
• Integral silk and foam 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.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

Ideal for single-miking a small acoustic ensemble, including acoustic instruments and multiple vocalists, on stage or in studio.

REVIEWS

"Sound-wise it’s flat out great... works well both live and in the studio. Vocals and instruments react well to it, and we found it to be ideal for acoustic applications... If the aesthetics of the mic intrigue you, the sound will make you a believer." - Performer Magazine Full Review
