Have you seen the RM700 for 129 euros? I wonder what that is like...
Yes - great as an alternative OH choice for a very FAT sound with less detail on transients - perfect for rock.
You´ll need a very good analogue EQ for shaping the high end like a Massive, 8200, Avalon etc.
It takes EQ so much better than most condensers which I´ve heard.
Mostly it will need a massive high pass filter since the low end response of this mic is STRONG.

Haven´t tried the RM 700. It looks awesome.
According to my drummer friend (who brought me the two RB-500s) these have less bottom end and sound more like beyer m-160s. However I´m perfectly happy with the RM-500.

Think thick and warm wool in times of digital coldness.
