Actually, my vision is that the RB500 could blend in pretty nicely with a 421 or 57, or maybe both, on a guitar cab... |
my point was that you should consider the KIND of boom you get and the KIND of transient mashing!
Never mind!
I have two RB500 and they are useful as FX mics (and cheap as hell). I also have two R122s and they see pretty much all the critical usage... Just don't confuse the RB500 with a decent ribbon!
And no.. I don't just make delicate acoustic music!!!
