Bought a couple of sets to use for choral stuff. Fiddle around with positioning and they do a really nice job. Wouldn’t mind seeing a carry case for these 😉
Howling Terror –
Good clean sounding mics. Plenty of cable.
Used on hand percussion and as room mics.
No complaints

Having looked at a few more expensive solutions to a couple of problems I decided to try a couple of RV85s and got a result in Spades.
Job one was to mic up a ten person Uke Group for instruments and vocals. One RV85, two feet above, central, and just in front did the job. We had to ask one member to stop tapping his foot even gently on the floor as it was that sensitive.
Next job at the same Gig was to mic up my Marshall Acoustic Soloist which was amping multi inputs including one from a mixer for Duo vocals. This would normally be a job for an SM75 but… not got ….so placed the RV85 close up and central to the Marshal’s twin Celestions and fed its one wire through a Divine MPS 1000 phantom box straight to the venue’s active PA. Bingo!! Simple and effective.
Thanks Red5, I wil always carry a couple of these in my kit.
