EAR Trumpet Labs Delphina Boutique Condenser Microphone
Product information "Delphina Boutique Condenser Microphone"
Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina – The King of Bluegrass Mics
Once a popular custom order, the Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina is now a standard model, designed for musicians who need the rich low-end of the "Myrtle" in a more compact "Edwina" profile.
The Delphina is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that stands out with its elegant brass mounting and industrial-chic aesthetic. It inherits the warm, detailed clarity and exceptional feedback rejection of Ear Trumpet Labs' signature designs, but adds a specifically tuned low-end response. This makes it perfect for capturing acoustic instruments and ensembles from a distance with absolute precision. A favorite of Del McCoury, this mic is a powerhouse for traditional acoustic music and high-stakes live performances.
Inside, the Delphina features transformerless, fully balanced FET electronics and premium, hand-wired components, including film caps and matched transistors. The internal shock absorbers minimize handling noise, while the integrated silk-and-mesh pop filter provides effective plosive control without losing high-end air. Its pivoting brass bracket allows for easy positioning in both side- and front-address applications.
