What about the maximum SPL on these mics? It says something like 166dB (with 1% distortion) and 144dB (0,5% distortion) in the papers that came with the mics.
How careful do I have to be? From what I've heard they are very fragile, but if it can take up to 166dB they should be up for anything, is this just in theory?

TLDR; At what SPL will the RB500 break?

Otherwise, great mics. Sounds big and fat.
