Elegant Workhorse

Designed as an interview microphone, its omnidirectional pickup pattern allows the interviewer to hold the mic between both people without constantly pointing it back and forth. Its sensitivity is broad ranging but slightly biassed towards the human voice, while tending to suppress the unneeded very low frequencies. The effect is to somewhat reduce ambient noise such as air conditioning, traffic etc. It is also built to reduce handling noise from the interviewer's hand and is internally shielded from wind noise. In all, this unit is meant to give clear, quality voice recording in less than ideal "studio" environments. I find that care still needs to be taken with handling and wind. A good windshield (preferably fur) is still a good precaution in anything more than a moderate breeze. And you still need to take care not to move the mic around in the hand too much. The unit is surprisingly small and compact, with a good heft from its steel case. Its other advantage is that as a dynamic microphone, it never needs batteries or external power. I haven't done more than initial tests on it yet, so can't comment on its durability or actual performance in the field. But it comes from a long line of "classic" units which have proven themselves over many decades, so I'm looking forward to getting good service from it. I also intend to try using it in other ways, such as recording ambient sound on theatre stages, audience applause etc.

About Electro Voice 635N/DB Handheld Microphone

Description and Applications The Electro-Voice 635N/D and 635N/D-B dynamic omnidirectional microphones are offspring of the legendary 635A microphone. Built with the same rugged design of the 635A, the 635N/D and 635N/D-B offer a new neodymium N/DYM½ magnet structure for greater sensitivity. Designed for increased ruggedness to meet the demands of exacting professional applications, the 635N/D's and 635N/D-B's are ideally suited for electronic news production (ENG), electronic field production (EFP), television, film and radio remotes and demanding PA applications. The microphone's Acoustalloy½ diaphragm permits a very smooth response over a wide frequency range, yet it withstands high humidity and temperature extremes, corrosive effects of salt air and severe mechanical shocks. The diaphragm is protected from dust and magnetic particles by a carefully designed integral windscreen and blast filter. The windscreen provides excellent protection from wind noise, excessive sibilance and annoying P-popping. This helps minimize the need for an external windscreen for outdoor use. The 635N/D comes in nonreflecting fawn beige; the 635N/D-B comes in semigloss black for on camera use. The increased output level and low sensitivity to mechanical shock make the 635N/D and 635N/D-B excellent for interviews, sporting events, special effects and voice-overs. Both microphones come with the 311 stand adapter.
