Get almost everything you need to perform loops live with this Boss RC-505MKII Performance & Beatbox Kit, bundled together by B&H for your convenience. The kit gives you the RC-505MKII, a tabletop live-looping dynamo with tons of rhythmic support and storage space for preserving loops. Additionally, the kit gives you a footswitch to control the unit, as well as a Shure Beta 58A microphone to loop your voice with, a mic stand, mic sanitizer, and all the cabling you need.
Boss has revamped their RC-505MK2 Loop Station to add impressive dynamic range to the mix as well as extended looping time and more rhythmic support from its onboard processors. Let's examine what the Loop Station is before we get into the updates: the RC-505MK2 is a live performance tool for loop artists, housed in a compact tabletop enclosure. It provides easy fingertip control of five stereo phrase tracks and various loop playback behaviors, while a choice of input and track effects deliver a wide range of real-time processing options.
Like the original, this unit provides independent record, overdub, play, and stop buttons for each track, to allow for capturing and controlling loop performances, mixing loop levels on the fly, storing up to 99 phrase memories, and more. Three notable improvements grace the RC-505MK2: First, recording time has been upped from 3 hours stereo to 1.5 hours per track, coming it at around 13 hours total. Second, Rhythmic support has gone from 85 types of percussion sound to over 200. Lastly—and this is quite exciting for guitar players who love dynamic range—the RC-505MK2 utilizes a 32-bit float signal path, which means dynamic range is preserved to a degree far greater than you'd get with original's 16-bit linear resolution. A power adapter is included.
The Shure Beta 58A is a handheld supercardioid dynamic microphone offering enhanced midrange and controlled proximity effect for optimal reproduction of vocals, speech, and instruments in concerts, public address, houses of worship, and live stage applications. Its dynamic capsule utilizes a neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise levels and is shock-mounted to reduce handling noise. It requires no power source and delivers a frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz with a gentle boost above 3 kHz.
The supercardioid polar pattern is maintained across the mic's frequency range, allowing it to consistently reject sound at its off-axis points and deliver high immunity to feedback. The XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most microphone preamps, mixer inputs, and portable PA systems. The durable metal Beta 58A ships with a mic clip, threaded adapter, and storage bag.
The Goby Labs Microphone Sanitizer is a spray that's designed to clean and disinfect microphones. It promises to kill 99.9% of germs. Simply spray it on the microphone to kill these germs. The spray is ideal for live-sound and karaoke scenarios, and is safe for your skin, your hands, and your gear. This spray is also good for eliminating odor on microphones. The bottle provides 4 fl oz of spray.
The Auray MS-5230F Tripod Microphone Stand with Fixed Boom features durable, steel construction. The 31.5" boom arm allows you to angle the mic however you need it. An ergonomic twist-action clutch helps adjust the height of the stand, while the reinforced tripod base and nonslip feet keep it firmly and sturdily in place. The Auray MS-5230F mic stand collapses for easy transport.
The FS-5U Footswitch from BOSS is a momentary unlatching footswitch/pedal that works with either electronic keyboards as a sustain pedal, or for quickly engaging and disengaging effects processors. The sturdy metal footswitch pedal is only active for the duration of time that it is depressed, and an example of it's creative application would be the emphatic punctuation of specific musical phrases, during an instrumental solo, with a dramatic delay or reverb effect setting. FS-5U is a passive pedal, requiring no power input, and sports a universal 1/4" jack.
