Description
Ear Trumpet Labs Myrtle is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with spring-suspended retro styling. Ideal for live vocal performance use, or single-micing small acoustic ensembles.
Myrtle has the most classic vintage styling of any of our mics, with a design pedigree straight from the 1930s. Her sound, however, is a wonder of modern acoustic design that thrives in current stage environments. She takes the warm, detailed sound and astonishing feedback rejection of Edwina, and adds a low-end tune for accurately capturing acoustic instruments from any distance. Her sweet spot extends from 6 inches out. And she has the low noise and natural clarity to work wonderfully in the studio as well.
For the same sound in a smaller body, check out Delphina. For a crisper tone with a bit more presence for the same applications, consider Louise/Josephine. For a similar tone in a design tailored for closer micing, consider Edwina.
