BD 500 Beta : A great boundary mic

2 years ago

I didn't see enough reviews about this mic in english so I decided to write one. My use case for this microphone was using it as a kick mic. I was hoping for a boundary mic that will provide me with a meaty kick and minimum feedback and that's exactly what I got.

The microphone build quality amazed me as it seems really sturdy. It's small, a little bit heavy and has a non slip rubber backing. The case is just a regular cardboard case and it comes with a small "leather" bag.

The microphone itself sounds beefy. It has a recessed switch that switches from EQ to Linear. I prefer EQ as it gives me a nice thump and all in all I'm really satisfied with it.
