I´m using my RB-500 all the time with a cranesong spider + a 12 k high shelve on my massive passive and have no noise problems at all.

Some of you guys either have bad units or noisy pre amps / EQs...

This mic often needs +60 db of gain - you can´t expect this amount of amplification without hiss / noise from a less than VERY good pre amp.
