JOSEPHINE Condenser Microphone

Ear Trumpet Labs JOSEPHINE Condenser Microphone

Large-diaphragm condenser microphone spring-suspended in a large, elegant copper ring. Tuned for live performance use, ideal for micing small acoustic ensembles.

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