Ear Trumpet Labs Launches Wanda Condenser Microphone at NAMM 2025

Ear Trumpet Labs, the boutique microphone company from Portland, Oregon, exhibited for the first time at the NAMM Show 2025, where it introduced Wanda, its new condenser microphone. The new compact, stand-mounted condenser microphone pairs mid-century design with cutting-edge performance. With its rugged, all-brass body and iconic 1940s-50s aesthetic, Wanda is a new great option on stage or in the studio. Its pivoting stand mount ensures seamless positioning on any mic stand or boom arm - no clip required.

Rounding out 2020, boutique microphone company Ear Trumpet Labs celebrates record sales, a healthy staff, and increased diversity efforts; a triumph for small businesses everywhere during a year when the music industry has been one of the hardest hit. A mighty team of six powers Ear Trumpet Labs out of a small workshop in Portland, OR, where they handcraft each microphone.

It is rare in the pro audio world for a company, of any size, to be able to boast a 100% sales growth, yet that is exactly what boutique microphone company, Ear Trumpet Labs (ETL) continues to achieve. ETL will celebrate their 5-year anniversary this fall touting that exciting news along with many other accomplishments that paint the picture of a thriving company with an enthusiastic and growing customer base. For the past three years ETL has doubled in sales every year, and 2016 is no exception.
