Handbuilt condenser mics for natural-sounding live amplification and exceptional studio sound quality
We build studio-quality modern microphones out of re-purposed objects and materials with designs that evoke the industrial glamor of the 1930s and 40s.
We loved having .basha into our workshop for a session with on violin. This Dublin-based americana artist weaves a wondrous spell with her syncopated guitar and captivating vocals: take a listen to ‘Traveling Shoes’ out now on our YouTube— link in bio.
We’re so excited to catch Zoé again at the Doolin Folk Festival tomorrow in Doolin, IE. Ear Trumpet Labs founder/maker Philip Graham is still exploring Ireland, so if you see a bearded microphone maker on the loose, go say hi!
