RB 500 : Unbelievable

5 years ago

A ribbon mic at this price? And it's great!

It's my first ribbon mic, I own a pair and used them to record drum room, guitar amps and also vocals.

A bit boomy around 200Hz but nothing to really worry about if you have good EQ, and at this price you can't expect any better.

Totally satisfied, since the day I bough it I don't think there's a production for which I haven't used it.

Cons: the cable makes the placement a little hard, but it's ok. It could be fixed in the future.

Signal level is a bit low (obviously being a ribbon mic), for which I'd recommend buying the FetAmp as well.
