Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications:

The microphone shall be an omnidirectional, dynamic type with broadcast range response from 80-13,000 Hz. It shall employ a high-mass zinc acoustic chamber, integral with the head assembly that shall be shock isolated within an external aluminum case. It shall have a four-stage pop filter to prevent dust and magnetic particles from reaching the diaphragm. Nominal impedance shall be 150 ohms (such that it will match 50-150, and 250-ohms inputs). The line shall be balanced to ground and phased. Output level shall be 1.8mV/pascal. The magnetic circuit shall be a nonwelded circuit and employ Alnico V and magnetic iron. The inner case shall be made of zinc and the outer case of machined aluminum. The microphone shall have a maximum diameter of 49 mm (1.94 in.) and a length of 197 mm (7.75 in.). Shank diameter shall be 25 mm (1.0 in.). Weight shall be 269 grams (9.5 oz.). Finish shall be semi-gloss black. The microphone shall have a built-in connector similar or equivalent to the Switchcraft A3M. The Electro-Voice RE50/B is specified.

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.
