Electro-Voice RE520 Condenser Super Cardioid Vocal Microphone, 40Hz-20kHz

The RE520 Condenser Super Cardioid Vocal Microphone, operating within a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz, is a high-grade, top-tier audio equipment designed for superior vocal performances. This microphone is engineered to capture and deliver exceptional detail and vivid clarity, hallmarks of condenser elements, making it an ideal choice for expressive vocal renditions.

Its unique design effectively controls off-axis sound from nearby sources, ensuring a clean, uncluttered audio output. The sonic signature of the RE520 microphone is richly detailed, full-bodied, and vibrant, characterized by a warm and clear low end, a natural and present midrange, and an open, crisp, and detailed high end.

The supercardioid pattern of this microphone offers excellent acoustic isolation, providing maximum feedback rejection when a stage monitor position is at either 225 degrees or 125 degrees off-axis to the element. This pattern also contributes to a cleaner mix by effectively rejecting off-axis sound.

The RE520 microphone features a multi-stage pop filter, composed of two layers of dense foam separated by air. This design effectively attenuates wind velocity caused by breath and windblasts, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted audio experience.

The microphone also includes a high-pass filter with two positions. In the flat position, the filter delivers the full frequency band pass of the capsule. In the high-pass position, it attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz, allowing for a tailored audio output.

Finally, the internal shock mount of the RE520 microphone isolates the microphone element from vibration and guards against handling noise, ensuring a stable and noise-free performance. This feature makes the RE520 Condenser Super Cardioid Vocal Microphone a reliable choice for both studio recording and live performances.
