Ear Trumpet Labs Myrtle Microphone

I don't own one but saw a friend using it in a live performance. Two violins, acoustic guitar and two vocals. It was amazing how well it all blended. The guitar had to be four or five feet from the mike. The vocals and strings maybe two or three feet. No compression, just the mike. Amazing blend.

Really great mic for recording acoustic instruments and vocals simultaneously. Exciting natural live sound quality. Haven't used it live yet except in rehearsal. No feedback problem yet, but we haven't been in a spot where we can crank it up. You can hear it at the following link. Guitar and vocal recorded separately from the mandolin. Mandolin recorded on Myrtle then mixed in Garageband with a bit of effects. https://youtu.be/RyHtb4qv8a8 I think the recording sounded just like us, our best us..ha. Of course I bought it for the looks and hoped it sounded as good as the recordings I heard made with it. Well, didn't send it back. Yes it's expensive, but not so much when you think that for an acoustic duet you don't need two vocal mics and two instrument mics if that was your common way to perform. Also make sure you're singing into the threaded screwhead side. The brassy covers are facing the audience. I set it up backward the first time I tried to use it. Also saw a company review Myrtle but they ALSO were playing into the back side of the mic and didn't get a good recording, saying it wasn't as good as another of their mics! So sad.
