Ear Trumpet Labs Revisits Its First Design With Josephine
Ear Trumpet Labs has announced its newest microphone, Josephine. This is a mediumlarge (26mm) diaphragm cardioid condenser for live vocal and ensemble use, intended for
singers or groups at a distance of 6" to 48". Its unique look and sound are ideal for period
jazz and swing performers, or bluegrass/Americana ensembles using a single mic, with
improved feedback rejection compared to typical large-diaphragm condensers.
Josephine is a refinement of the very first Ear Trumpet mic in a slightly smaller size.
Built from standard hardware elements like all Ear Trumpet mics, Josephine features a
stainless steel mesh headbasket spring-suspended in a 6" copper ring. Inside the headbasket are a silk/foam pop filter, Sorbothane shock/vibration damping, and
rubber baffles to shape the mic's sound, and the electronics include a moderate bass rolloff to reduce proximity effects and high-frequency EQ to avoid
harshness and help control feedback.

DPA Microphones Adds Linear d:facto Vocal Mic
DPA Microphones has announced that a new option will be available for the d:facto
handheld vocal mic range, already popular with artists ranging from Sting and Stevie
Wonder to Kate Bush and Ellie Goulding. In addition to the existing d:facto Vocal
Microphone, which has a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz, DPA now offers the d:facto Linear
Vocal Microphone, which is flat throughout its frequency response.
Intended for engineers who want control over the final sound of the mic, the
new model features an isolation-optimized polar pattern that combines the best
characteristics of cardioid and supercardioid mics, and can handle up to 160 dB
SPL. The new MMC4018VL linear capsule is modular and can be replaced with
any other d:facto capsule depending on application on stage or in the recording
studio, and the handheld wired body can be replaced with a wireless adapter
compatible with all leading wireless solutions.
Prices: d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone (wired or wireless), $979.95;
MMC4018VL capsule, $819.95
