GeneralDescription:

The Electro-Voice®ENG 618 is a hypercardioid-line (shotgun) back-electret condenser microphone designed for broadcast news gathering applications where selective pickup in a multisound environment is required.

The frequency response of the ENG 618 microphone can be varied by the 200 Hz rolloff switch. In the roll-off position the ENG 618 provides a full-range, well-balanced sound character for clean and accurate voice reproduction. In the flat position, low frequency sounds can be sourced for background special effects or to mic specific natural or environmental audio.

The microphone’s hypercardioid-line polar characteristic provides maximum output from the desired source, while rejecting unwanted off-axis noise.

The ENG 618 boom pole is designed to extend allowing the integral microphone to be placed over several rows of people with little effort. The product’s light weight and excellent balance allows consistent audio coverage without fatigue.

The ENG 618 is easily collapsed to 18 inches overall length for quick and efficient transport.

ENG 618 specifications

The Electro-Voice ENG 618 is a cutting-edge microphone designed specifically for field production and broadcast applications. Renowned for its reliability and high-quality audio capture, the ENG 618 is ideal for on-location interviews, live reporting, and high-pressure environments where sound clarity and performance are paramount.

One of the standout features of the ENG 618 is its hypercardioid polar pattern. This design effectively isolates the desired sound source while minimizing background noise, making it perfect for capturing speech in bustling environments. Its targeted pickup pattern ensures that the microphone focuses on the speaker, which is crucial in noisy settings like public events or crowded locations.

Equipped with a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the ENG 618 delivers a rich and balanced audio reproduction. This wide frequency range ensures that it captures both the lows and highs of the human voice, maintaining clarity and definition, even in challenging acoustic environments. Its high sensitivity allows for excellent performance with minimal amplification, reducing the chances of distortion.

The ENG 618 also incorporates advanced handling noise rejection technology. This feature is especially beneficial when the microphone is used on the move or handheld, as it minimizes unwanted noise caused by physical handling or wind impact. The microphone's robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of field use, ensuring durability and longevity in various environmental conditions.

Another key aspect of the ENG 618 is its easy-to-use interface. The microphone is compatible with various audio equipment, including mixers and cameras, making it a versatile choice for professionals. The lightweight design contributes to ease of use, allowing users to maneuver it comfortably for extended periods without fatigue.

Moreover, the ENG 618's build quality reflects Electro-Voice's commitment to excellence. With a rugged metal housing, the microphone is designed to endure the tough conditions often encountered in electronic news gathering. In addition, it comes with an integrated pop filter that effectively reduces plosive sounds, further enhancing overall audio quality.

In summary, the Electro-Voice ENG 618 is an exceptional microphone tailored for ENG professionals. Its advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and robust design make it a reliable choice for anyone looking to achieve high-quality sound in demanding situations. Whether on the street, in a studio, or in the field, the ENG 618 stands out as a top-tier audio solution.
