Podcast 75: Philip Graham of Ear Trumpet Labs

When Portland, Oregon computer programmer Philip Graham decided
that his singer-songwriter daughter needed a better microphone,
he didn’t just turn to the latest pro audio catalog. Instead,
Graham decided to do some research and build her one from

was born and Graham found himself with a new day job,
hand-assembling microphones for professional and amateur
musicians.


Though Graham’s microphones are visually distinctive and look

unique designs, each is made with function in mind. Onstage,
acclaimed acoustic artists such as the Milk Carton Kids, Tom
Brosseau and Della Mae have all embraced Ear Trumpet microphones.
