About This Large Diaphragm Condensor Microphone
Ear Trumpet Labs - Louise
This is the classic bluegrass microphone.
Louise is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone which is spring-suspended in a pivoting slim stainless steel ring. It is tuned for live performance, and is ideal for miking small acoustic ensembles.
Louise has the clarity, gain, feedback resistance, and full, natural frequency response to change the game when it comes to miking in live single-mic situations. A pleasing high end with no harshness, and a sound that performers, audiences, and engineers all describe as astonishingly natural.
Louise can also bring that winning sound into the studio, capturing vocals and acoustic instruments with straightforward clarity.
