RB 500 : Dark Ribbon

8 years ago

This is my second set of ribbons, and I was definitely surprised at the difference! My first pair were the RM700's, and these are considerably darker. This is great for giving a very mellow and bass-heavy quality to instruments - definitely good to pair with a brighter mic for vocals or amps or for ambient mic'ing of drums or electric guitar.

The main detractors are the built in cable, which while chunky is obviously an issue for the mic's longevity. It also makes placement clunky, which is annoying for fine adjustments to the angle of the mic.
