NAMM 2025: Ear Trumpet Labs Unveils Wanda Condenser Microphone

Ear Trumpet Labs Unveils New Condenser Microphone At NAMM Global Media Day.

Boutique microphone company Ear Trumpet Labs unveiled the latest addition to their stellar fleet of microphones, Wanda, today at the NAMM Global Media Day in Anaheim. With timeless mid-century aesthetics and cutting-edge performance, the stand-mounted condenser microphone is a striking centerpiece for stage or studio. Drawing on the iconic styles of the 1940s and 50s, Wanda’s lustrous all-brass body and classic cast design expertly cuts through the mix in loud band settings while maintaining the warm, tonally consistent sweet spot you expect from an Ear Trumpet Labs microphone.

Voiced with a touch of added presence, Wanda’s generous sweet spot extends up to 12” away, giving artists the freedom to move while staying true to their sound. Beneath its vintage-inspired exterior, the mic delivers exceptional clarity and detail, capturing every nuance of performance unmatched by other classic-style live mics. It’s the perfect blend of iconic looks and pristine sound.

Wanda is equally at home with vocalists, horn players, string musicians, and recording engineers. Whether it’s the soulful voice of a crooner, the bright punch of a trumpet, the articulate snap of drums, or the warm resonance of a guitar cabinet, Wanda brings out the best in every source. 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.

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, to kick drum. The mic offers great feedback rejection and exceptional plosive control for studio-quality sound, anywhere.

Like every Ear Trumpet Labs microphone, Wanda is meticulously hand-built at their small 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.
