Famously used by Mick Jagger. The Philips EL 6031 is a vintage ribbon microphone renowned for its warm, natural sound and smooth frequency response, making it ideal for recording vocals and acoustic instruments. Originally designed in the mid-20th century, it features a bi-directional polar pattern (figure-8), capturing sound equally from the front and rear while rejecting from the sides. Its robust build and classic design have made it a sought-after piece for collectors and audio engineers seeking a retro aesthetic and sound. The EL 6031 remains a favorite for adding vintage character to modern recordings.
