“I purchased the Delphina and used it at a gig recently for the first time. It was as good as expected - my wife said it was easily the best sound she’s ever heard of me singing and playing in a solo concert. When you know her, praise indeed! It was natural, full-bodied and warm - acoustic. I had a terrific experience; it really takes off a lot of the pressure of performing, helping you to focus on the audience connection.”

"I absolutely love the sound and clarity of the new Wanda microphone. The sound is warm, dark and colorful. Works extremely well in intimate musical settings. I've actually been using the mic for some home recordings and documentary work as well. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback. Incredible microphone!"

Lucas Warford, Three For Silver
"I LOVE THIS MIC!!! For the touring vocalist, Wanda is Ear Trumpet Labs’ masterpiece. Fantastic response, with crisp transparent highs and expressional mids and lows, with a frankly shocking rejection of feedback—even in loud, mid-sized venues with different sound techs every night. It’s got a great warm character while keeping the crispy clarity I expect from all your mics."
–Lucas Warford, Three For Silver
Celia Woodsmith, Della Mae
"The Wanda is killing it! Every sound person I’ve worked with has been super into the mic, and it makes the low end of my voice feel bolstered and rich. I love how my voice feels robust in the monitor without being overwhelmingly loud, which gives me confidence onstage. It sounds like me without having to do a bunch of EQ-ing."
–Celia Woodsmith, Della Mae
Marc on Wanda
"I worked with an artist who wants his vocal mic VERY LOUD in all the stage monitor mixes. Wanda was up to the task and delivered. He said that if he didn't like the mic he was going to want a 58 brought in right away so have one ready and needless to say, the 58 stayed at the side of the stage. Wanda seemed to handle anyone we put in front of her with ease and the output level from the mic was also in a very good range for hitting the board. She had the expected ETL smoothness with hi-fi detail and a complete absence of popping on close up vocals. You guys have really done a great job developing a new model, I have to say. Bravo!"

"The sound of your microphone at my concert this last weekend really blew my mind. I am always trying to capture the natural sound of the Double Bass in a live setting, which is much more difficult than the recording studio. The Nadine really delivers a beautiful and natural sound live!'"

Jerry Douglas
"Ear Trumpet Labs microphones and the Earls of Leicester have a lot in common. They both have the look and sound of the past with a twist of the future thrown in for no extra cost. No other microphone is used by the Earls of Leicester. They don’t want anything different. Why would they?"

“I've used it for 3 gigs and the microphone is wonderful and everyone has been very complimentary on how great it sounds through the Fishman Loudbox. Audience members and musicians I play with who've heard me play every week for the past year are suddenly hearing nuances and subtleties and absolutely gushing about the difference. Delphina hits the ideal sweet spot--added volume and presence while still sounding natural and acoustic and everyone involved says it has been a real game changer for gigs. I've even started using it for livestreams and recordings on my YouTube channels. Some very discerning sound folks and musicians have been blown away by the sound, the pickup pattern and rejection, so kudos to your designs and craftsmanship.”

Ben Bernstein
“Love at first sight – make that love at first listen. Nadine, where’ve you been all my life?!… Nadine is a blessing to the upright bass. This mic takes the best of the thump and midrange clarity you want out of an unwieldy instrument, then sets it in the mix right where it belongs – plus, you don’t even need a mic stand!”
–Ben Bernstein for TapeOp
Zach Newton
“She sounded great! Very honest bass tone from top to bottom. The lower range is were she really shined... With Nadine strapped on there was no need to use the pickup; the low mids to lows had the most natural bass tone I have ever heard out front. Thank You! You have done it again! It is an honor and pleasure to use your mics.”

Simon Flory
"From a small loud rock club in Cleveland, an outdoor festival in Texas or Music City Roots in Nashville, Nadine has been completely consistent and reliable. Every FOH engineer so far has commented that the mic sounds best with the EQ flat - relating the tone of the bass first and foremost. I have used monitors without any issues - sometimes even blending my piezo with Nadine - but I prefer just the mic. The best compliment I've had is, 'Your bass sounds great.'"
–Simon Flory, High Plains Jamboree
