RB 500 : Sounds way better than I expected

5 years ago

The thing is BIG. That sort of surprised me. The build quality is good, though. Nothing to complain about at all.

I tested it with a Newsonic maxximizer and a Golden Age Pre.

The sound was a little bassy, but nothing that a little EQ couldn't fix.

Same with the (missing) highs. Turn them up a little, and you've got what you want to hear.

I've made a couple of ribbon microphones myself....just for fun....so I sort of knew what to expect. The RB 500 sounds a little better than my best effort....AND it looks good. Buy one. You won't be disappointed.
