the t.bone RM 700

LUSH! And NOT FRAGILE!

Hard as nail, have one laying around, hooked to the sound card and constantly in monitoring mode, gives you the lushest sound if you position AND angle it right but if you always wondered what is it to record with ribbons, there you go, before you spend big bucks on known suspects, for me personally, this coupled with the FetAmp quenched my thirst

Great Value for money

This mic delivers very good quality for the price. I've used it successfully on orchestra, brass, acoustic guitar and even a bright vocal. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a ribbon mic.

I like this thing. Have been using it for a year, trying it on voice, guitar and clarinet. Bought another one to try out Blumlein array. You have to learn using and positioning this mic, sometimes it sounds great in another context it does not and you better use something else. Sometimes you have to eq and it works. I havn´t fully understood it. The self noise of this mic is really really low. I love that. It does not react as crazy sensitive on floor vibrations as its larger brother RB 500. That makes it much more easy and universal to use. The price is incredible low. Perhaps one of the best cheap ribbon mics you can get. Shockmount box and case just perfect.

The "Secret Sauce"

We all know the struggle - the guitar sounds great from an amp, but once recorded, its almost flat. Why? Probably because you haven't invested into one of those ribbon mics :)

I use this one at the same time with Shure SM57 and that gives me the quality & dynamic range my guitars deserve. SM57 is very precise, but IMHO flat when used by itself.

The RM 700 adds the warmth & bass that counter-balances the precision of the 57. Together they form a duet that will kick some serious a**.

Would I use it by itself? Probably not, but I don't believe anyone should record amps with only 1 mic.

In terms of build quality - Wow! Sound quality - wow! Even the wooden & metal cases will fool you into thinking it is a $400-1000 mic.

Basically, if you are serious about your sound, this is a no-brainer. Just go for it & prepare to take your guitar recording to the next level.

Sounds great!

A great sounding mic to compete with more expensive ribbon microphones on the market. Just recorded an album with the RM 700 mic on guitars and i was blown away with the result. Pairs well with an tube preamp.

Tbone ribb mic

Very nice, warm, vintage sound.

Cheap ribbon to pair with SM57

I bought this mic to pair it with the SM57 on guitar cabs.

It is obviously not in the same league of the higher end ribbon mics but it does a GREAT job for the price: adds body to the SM57.

Highly recommended for home studios or those who would like to have a taste of the ribbon sound without budget.

LOVE THIS RIBBON MIC

Crispy, Clean and full of body. For any price this thing has loads of Mojo in spades! Quality is solid as hell as well. All metal as far as I can see and heavy solid piece of quality equipment. Its been just over a year of steady studio use and Im sure I will have this for a long time with out any issues.

Price is unbelievable for anything made this good.

It's just one of those companies who are trying to prove something and they certainly are being heard. I imagine this will be going of at 300+ in a few years so get em while they cheap...lol

Really nice warm tone most of all.

Good, but not the best.

Delivers for the price, but not much more than that.

Perfect for the Trombone

I'm utterly delighted with this microphone and would recommend it for sure. It is very well build, sounds great recording brass and comes housed in a wooden box, which is held in a small flight case! It' also comes with a great shockmount, so is a total bargain
