Underrated benefit of a single mic approach: loading in 1 mic and 1 stand is easier than loading in 5 mics and 5 stands.

Louise user Jesse P. says: "We should have made the upgrade years ago. The sound is full and crisp. We no longer have the muffled sound of our dynamic mics. We eliminated 4 microphones, countless cables, 2 mic stands and two DI's with just one Louise. The improvement of harmonies and the enjoyment of singing around a single mic can not be put into words. A clean looking stage and an improved overall sound. We are huge fans of Ear Trumpet Labs!"

What do you appreciate most about making the switch to an Ear Trumpet mic?
