EAR Trumpet Labs Josephine I Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Product information "Josephine I Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone"
Ear Trumpet Labs Josephine I – The Art of Live Acoustic Sound
The Josephine I from Ear Trumpet Labs is more than a microphone; it is a masterfully tuned instrument designed to capture small acoustic ensembles with breathtaking natural clarity and vintage style.
Housed in a strikingly elegant copper ring, the Josephine I utilizes a spring-suspension system combined with internal shock damping to virtually eliminate stand and handling noise. This microphone is a game-changer for live single-mic situations, offering high gain and superior feedback rejection even on loud stages. Its sonic profile is characterized by a warm, full frequency response and a smooth high-end that remains clear without becoming harsh.
Internally, the Josephine I features transformerless, fully balanced FET electronics. Each unit is hand-built in Portland, Oregon, using the highest quality components, including hand-tested transistors and precision resistors tailored to each individual circuit. The integrated silk and mesh pop filter ensures that vocal plosives are kept in check while maintaining the straightforward transparency required for high-fidelity studio recordings of vocals and acoustic instruments.
