Ear Trumpet Labs Introduces Nadine Upright Bass Microphone
Double bassists have a new option for amplifying their instrument with the Ear Trumpet Labs Nadine microphone. The medium-large diaphragm condenser mic is specifically designed for upright bass with its low end tuned to give a flat response at the mounting distance. Its cardioid pickup pattern is designed to pick up as much of the bass’s top as possible while offering good rejection off the back of the mic, which the company says allows for use with stage monitors.
The body of the hand-made microphone is attached to the tailpiece with a velcro strap while the head is mounted between the strings just above the tailpiece. It can be positioned up and down the strings, making it easy to get an ideal tone for different basses.

The Ear Trumpet Labs Nadine is available for pre-order for $599.
