Pearl Microphone Labs ELM-T Bernt Malmqvist Signature Edition Tube Condenser Review
The Pearl ELM-T Bernt Malmqvist Signature Edition is built around Pearl’s unique rectangular large-diaphragm capsule and a true vacuum tube design. With its seamlessly variable polar patterns and incredibly low self-noise, it offers both flexibility and crystal-clear performance. The included AGES NG power supply, built by Andreas Grosser, keeps the signal clean and consistent. You’ll love the warm, ribbon-like tone this mic provides—especially on acoustic instruments and vocals—without the usual noise you'd expect from a tube mic. It’s the result of more than 70 years of experience, and it shows in every detail.
