This mic lives up to the hype. The sound is natural and does not change from soft to loud. Excels on voices. Recording close (as in a foot, perhaps) has a nice "bing crosby" bottom that never gets in the way of the mids. Top end is, as advertised, extended and natural. Sibilance is almost always under control. It does not sound like any other mic in my locker. I have two desires of the current design: 1) The output, despite being actively driven, is pretty low compared to condenser. For example, my hottest condenser would be a Pearlman TM1. A 12" folk voice might well be recorded at 40dB of gain. The RM1-B might well require 54dB. Otherwise, I will not part with mic for a very long time.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
