RE20 EV Professional Broadcast Microphone The Electro-Voice RE20 is a professional quality dynamic cardioid microphone designed specifically for recording, broadcasting and sound reinforcement requiring almost flat response over a very wide frequency range. Wide frequency response combined with excellent transient response make the RE20 easily comparable to the best cardioid condenser microphones. It has a smooth and accurate response without peaks even close which makes it ideal for a studio as well as for voiceover booths. RE20 low-frequency roll-off switch and EV's Variable-D technology provide accurate and precise response at all frequencies without hum at close range associated with the proximity effect. It gives the same answer at different distances. Microphones designed with Variable-D technology, such as the RE20 can be used very close to other sound sources without losing clarity or definition. This makes them the preferred choice for harsh vocals and complex instruments. such as wind instruments. True cardioid microphone The RE20 provides maximum sound rejection at 180° off-axis - directly to the rear of the microphone. Beam control is so consistent that the frequency response is practically independent of the angular location of the sound source creating virtually no off-axis coloration while ensuring maximum possible suppression of unwanted sounds. It can be used in bass drums , on acoustic guitars it can be found throughout voice booths and broadcast studios. Built-in anti-wind filter covers every acoustic hole of the RE20. While recording or on stage, singers can “talk” into the microphone humming almost touching the screen bars with his lips without worrying about "pi-pops" or excessive hiss. The filter also includes a shock-absorbing mount for the internal microphone element reducing the transmission of vibrations from external sources. The RE20's exceptional performance is achieved through the use of a large Acoustalloy diaphragm combined with an exceptionally lightweight aluminum voice coil. Using this diaphragm assembly The RE20 is capable of reproducing extremely high sound pressure levels without fear of overload and distortion often encountered when using capacitors with phantom power. RE20 works flawlessly in high humidity and elevated temperatures which seriously degrade the quality of competing condenser microphones. The massive steel body and efficient suppressor coil make the RE20 immune to magnetically induced hum and noise. This means that the RE20 can be used successfully in situations when other microphones will experience unacceptable levels of noise and buzzing. Using the strength of the steel body and mechanical nesting concept EV designers have created an exceptionally durable microphone with superior noise cancellation ideal for professional use. Bass boost effect typical for most directional microphones when used close to a sound source eliminated in the RE20 thanks to exclusive EV Variable-D technology. Cardioid microphone with built-in fire filter protecting all acoustic openings. The fire filter serves as a shock absorber for the internal microphone element. The microphone has a wide range of uniform frequencies from 45 to 18,000 Hz. Built-in passive circuit provided , thanks to which when the filter switch is in the "on" position the low-frequency response has a downward slope of 4 5 dB from 400–100 Hz. When the switch is in the off position the microphone is almost “flat” in the range of 80–6 kHz with a wide response boost of 2 5 dB in the range of 6–14 kHz and nominally 3 dB at 18 kHz. Response below 80 Hz is nominally reduced by 3 dB at 45 Hz. The output level is -57 dB (0 dB = 1 m
W/Pascal). Nominal resistance 150 ohms. The response at any angular position away from the main axis is essentially the same as the reaction on the main axis , but is weakened uniformly at all frequencies by an amount corresponding to this angular position. Attenuation at frequencies from 45 Hz to 10 kHz (cm. signal value along the main axis) exceeds 15 dB at an angle of 180° from the main axis in any plane. Attenuation above 10 kHz exceeds 13 dB. Polar characteristics are fairly uniform in all planes so it is actually a cardioid rotation. This microphone has a screen preventing dust and iron particles from entering the diaphragm. Housing made of steel. The microphone has a diameter of 54.4 mm (2.14 in), a body diameter of 49.2 mm (1 94 inches) and length 216.7 mm (8 53 inches). An adapter for the stand is included in the package. Features: Variable-D for minimal proximity effect. A true cardioid without coloring when deviated from the axis by 180°.
