Description

Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina

Ear Trumpet Labs’ most popular special order, released as its own model! Sounds just like Myrtle, looks like Edwina, with a snappy brass bracket to set it apart. For a number of years, people have requested a lower-profile ensemble mic. They wanted the sonic characteristics of our most popular ensemble mic, Myrtle (full low-end response, flexibility for multiple players), with the portability and sleekness of our signature Edwina. We have been building this hybrid model as a custom special order for a number of years and have decided to introduce it to our 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 our standard Edwina, and adds a low-end tune for accurately capturing acoustic instruments from any distance, just like our popular Myrtle.

This model has been a favorite of Del McCoury’s for the last two years, and we wanted to honor the silver-haired king of bluegrass in the product name… introducing Delphina!

For a crisper tone with a bit more presence for the same applications, consider Louise/Josephine. For the same tone in a spring-suspended design, consider Myrtle. For a similar tone in a design tailored for closer micing, consider Edwina.

NOTABLE USERS

PREFER A STEREO PAIR?

A closely matched stereo pair of Delphinas makes for an incredibly useful and flexible tool for all applications in the studio and on the stage. In stereo, they make ideal drum overheads and room mics. Use in x/y, spaced pair, or ORTF to capture beautiful stereo images of acoustic instruments or group performances. Save $50 by buying a pair of Delphinas in a single blue case with custom-cut foam.
