Consistent response with distance, no muddy lows when used close to lips

General Description:

The Electro-Voice® RE50/B is specially shock-isolated, omnidirectional, dynamic microphone created for the most exacting professional applications. An advancement in shock-mounting techniques, it was designed particularly for handheld broadcast and sound- reinforcement use. All handling noise, clothing noise, and even cord shock have been isolated from the microphone element so that mechanically induced noise is greatly reduced. By use of a high-mass zinc internal acoustic chamber, shock mounted within the machined-aluminum outercasing, the RE50/B offers a degree of isolation unprecedented in omnidirectional dynamic microphones. The internal transducer uses a mechanical nesting concept all its own. Each part is nested inside another so that the transducer (head assembly) is nearly a solid structure. It is highly resistant to damage from shock. The diaphragm is unaffected by temperature extremes and atmospheric conditions. A carefully designed integral windscreen and blast filter provides excellent protection from wind noise, excessive sibilance and annoying “P- popping.” The RE50/B has a grille that bounces back to retain its shape. A four-stage pop filter prevents dust and magnetic particles from reaching the diaphragm. The RE50/B’s attractive, nonreflecting, semi-gloss black finish is ideal for on-camera use.

RE50/B specifications

The Electro-Voice RE50/B is a professional-grade dynamic microphone designed for broadcast and field recording applications. Renowned for its clarity, durability, and versatile performance, the RE50/B is a favorite among industry professionals including journalists, sound engineers, and audio technicians.

One of the standout features of the RE50/B is its tailored frequency response, which is optimized for vocal reproduction. With a frequency range of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, it captures the nuances of the human voice while reducing unwanted low-end rumble. This characteristic makes the RE50/B particularly suitable for interviews and on-location reporting where clarity is paramount. The microphone’s superior off-axis rejection means it effectively isolates the desired sound source even in noisy environments.

In terms of technology, the RE50/B employs a dynamic microphone design, utilizing a neodymium magnet to enhance sensitivity and output. This strength allows the RE50/B to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion, making it ideal for capturing loud sound sources. The microphone is also equipped with an internal pop filter that significantly reduces plosive sounds, providing a cleaner audio signal during vocal recordings.

Another key characteristic of the RE50/B is its rugged construction. The microphone features a robust zinc die-cast body, ensuring durability and resilience against the rigors of daily use. It is designed to withstand the bumps and knocks of fieldwork, making it a reliable choice for reporters and audio professionals who require equipment they can depend on.

The RE50/B is also lightweight, which ensures ease of handling during extended use. Its balanced microphone design includes a shielded cable connection, reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring a clean, noise-free signal. This is particularly important in live broadcast settings where clarity of audio is critical.

Overall, the Electro-Voice RE50/B embodies a perfect blend of innovation, durability, and practical functionality. This microphone is an invaluable tool in professional audio environments, making it a popular choice for those seeking high-quality sound reproduction and reliable performance in any situation. Whether interviewing a subject or capturing ambient sounds, the RE50/B consistently delivers exceptional results, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier dynamic microphone in the industry.
