Trumpet Labs announces Josephine, the newest addition to their product
line of microphones handcrafted in Portland, OR. A medium-large
diaphragm (26mm) condenser microphone, Josephine, is designed for live
vocal and ensemble use, with an avant-garde styling evocative of 1930s
and 40s classic microphones. Josephine
is optimized for use by singers or acoustic ensembles from 6” to 48”
away. The design, form-factor, and sound are ideal for period swing or
jazz vocalists or single-mic techniques with bluegrass or traditional
musicians, with significantly better feedback rejection than the large
diaphragm condener's typically used in these applications.
Founder
of Ear Trumpet Labs, Philip Graham notes, “The original Josephine was
actually the first model that I designed, and the first affirmation of
the sound quality that was achievable with this capsule and circuit
design. We’ve learned a lot over the last two years about improving
feedback rejection and usability onstage. I’ve always loved Josephine’s
bold geometry and wanted to revisit it with a design that is extremely
practical for live stage use. I love that she’s sleek, eye-catching, and
incorporates all we’ve learned about building the best mics for live
acoustic music.”
