In the music video for "There’d Better Be a Mirrorball" by Arctic Monkeys, Alex Turner can be seen using a vintage Melodium RM6 ribbon microphone, as well as an Altec Lansing 650. Additionally, in an episode of the "Hanging Out With Audiophiles" podcast, Arctic Monkeys' producer James Ford states: "I always do like a center kinda crotch mic, sort of above the kick pedal pointed at the snare. And often you can get a great sort of one mic sound with that, or that and a kick drum sometimes. And at the minute I’ve got these. I always get worried about saying too much about these, because then the price will go up, but these Melodium mics are f-ing brilliant. These are old French ribbons modelled on a 44 or something like that, but it’s much smaller and more compact. And really, I’ve been using them a lot. We did all the lead vocals for the Arctic Monkeys through one of those. It was actually Al Turner, who came up to me with that mic, and then kinda bought a bunch of them, they’re awesome, they’re really cool.”
