I bought a couple of RB-100 a couple of weeks a go but I just tried them last Friday.
First I plug it to the Yamaha DM2000. Pretty decent preamps, nothing spectacular. It was a love at first hearing.
I just couldn't believe that a mic that costs 89 euros could sound that good. I tried it with my voice and I think that it is excellent as a voice over mic too.
Then I pluged on the next channel the Beyer M500 (the brightest ribbon ever) and I realized how hugely different they are. I didn't have time to plug the M160 and the M260.80.
Then I got silly and I added all the gain on the EQ, +18db at 12kHz. Some noise came from the preamps as it was expected but the sound was not strange at all. Very nice.
I plugged it then to the Avalon 737 and the sound was very thick. I am not sure if I liked it but definitely it could have it's uses. I will give it a try again some other time.
I will try it with the ultra clean Millenia too.
Definitely the best sub 100 euro mic for me and one of the best on the sub 200 euro category too.
