Electro-Voice RE16 Wired Broadcast Quality, Variable-D Dynamic Super-Cardioid 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. A "hum-buck" coil and screw-machined steel outer casing provide 25 dB of hum rejection. Hum pickup level is - 125 dBm (re: ,001 gauss field). Using the mechanical nesting concept of design, by means of which the internal transducer parts are nested one within another, the RE16 transducer is a nearly solid mechanical structure that is highly resistant to damage from mechanical Shock. The Memraflex grille screen resists deformation The exclusive non-metallic Electro-Voice Acoustalloy diaphragm is virtually unaffected by extremes of atmospheric conditions. A carefully designed steel outer case provides additional mechanical protection Finish is nonreflecting

fawn beige micomatte.
