Electro-Voice RE16 Variable-D Dynamic Microphone

Electro-Voice RE16 Variable-D Dynamic Microphone

The Electro-Voice Model RE16 is a Variable-D dynamic supercardioid microphone designed for the most exacting professional use. It is like the RE15, except that it uses a unique blast filter. The blast filter, an integral part of the RE16, permits hand-held and outdoor use without “P-popping” or excessive wind noise. Utilizing the Variable-D design the RE16 features a directional characteristic independent of frequency. The result is a microphone that generates little off-axis coloration while providing the greatest rejection of unwanted sounds. A super-cardioid, the RE16 provides its greatest rejection at 150° off axis. (Typical cardioids provide greatest rejection in the horizontal plane when the microphone is tilted in its most natural position -30° from horizontal as on a boom or floor stand). An easily operated “bass-tilt” switch corrects spectrum balance for boom use and other longer reach situations.
