Evelyn

Common name: Ear Trumpet Labs Evelyn

Production Status: In production

Evelyn is a stereo mic consisting of two closely matched large diaphragm capsules mounted in individually pivoting head baskets spaced at the correct distance for the ORTF stereo recording technique. Both the capsules and the JFET transistors for each side of the stereo pair are exactingly hand-matched for perfect stereo imaging. The electronics are hand-wired using the finest components, and the result is excellent natural stereo sound. Evelyn makes an easy-to-deploy stereo drum overhead or room mic, but is also adept at many applications beyond standard stereo miking. Evelyn is ideal for live miking of acoustic ensembles from traditional bluegrass bands to string quartets, with great feedback control and off-pattern rejection. Ear Trumpet Labs microphones are hand made from copper plumbing pipe and fixtures, electrical flanges, brass, and stainless steel. Each mic includes a standard 5-pin XLR to dual 3-pin XLR adapter cable, and the pin out is standard so other stereo cables can be used. Each Evelyn comes in a solid metal tool case with hand-cut foam lining.
