Want A Wanda?

Boutique microphone company Ear Trumpet Labs has announced that the latest addition to their fleet of microphones, Wanda, is available for pre-order for $525 MSRP. They say that, unveiled in January at the NAMM Global Media Day in Anaheim, the mic has been quickly generating buzz among retailers and customers alike, with Front of House Magazine naming it as one of the hit products from the show. A spokesperson told us, "With timeless mid-century aesthetics and cutting-edge performance, the stand-mounted condenser microphone is a striking centerpiece for stage or studio." Here's more details direct from the company...

Beneath its stylish vintage-inspired exterior, Wanda delivers exceptional clarity and detail, capturing every nuance of performance unmatched by other classic-style live mics. The mic's generous sweet spot extends up to 12" away, giving artists the freedom to move while staying true to their sound. It excels on anything from the soulful voice of a crooner, to the bright punch of a trumpet, the articulate snap of drums, or the warm resonance of a guitar cabinet.

The medium-large diaphragm condenser capsule, high-SPL-handling circuitry design, and integrated multilayer pop filter ensure professional-grade performance, no matter the application. With their highest SPL handling yet, Wanda thrives in high-volume scenarios, from powerful horn sections to close snare micing. The mic offers great feedback rejection and exceptional plosive control for studio-quality sound, anywhere. Its rugged brass construction is built to handle the demands of the road, while its built-in pivoting stand mount ensures seamless positioning on any mic stand.

Founder Philip Graham, shares his thoughts on the latest design, "We worked for over a year on developing a new mic with a distinctive compact solid-brass design that feels different from our existing models while still remaining true to our industrial aesthetic. I was excited to refine the circuit to handle high SPL to make sure it's usable on any source. We are incredibly proud to welcome Wanda into our lineup!"

Like every Ear Trumpet Labs microphone, Wanda is meticulously hand-built at their workshop in Oregon, combining precision engineering with the artistry and character they're known for. It reflects their commitment to creating tools that are as versatile and reliable as they are visually stunning. Trusted by countless GRAMMY®-winning artists, Ear Trumpet Labs mics deliver studio-quality sound, a unique aesthetic, and rugged durability for life on the road.
