Review Summary

This is the gold standard when it comes to news gathering. Often referred to as "the stick mic", it is more dependable than most employees. It always show up for work and always delivers high quality while being durable enough to survive hurricanes, dust srorms and the ocassional chemical plant explosion. After 20 years in the news business I can honestly say that I would not buy another mic without having this one in my run bag first. I have even dropped it off a bridge in Austin onto IH35 during a liveshot(not on purpose). It was hit, and run over a couple of times before I could retrieve it. It was dented and scratched up but it still worked.

Looking for a rugged field mic? This has been the standard for a long time, and still is. A great deal at a relatively inexpensive price. Essential part of my video kit. Never needs batteries. Add a signalflex 8021 if using a Zoom or similar small recorder for boosting the mics output. Add a wireless mic transmitter to the bottom for getting rid of wires.

Make your professional audio recording experience exceptional with the Electro-Voice RE50/b Wired Shock-Mounted Handheld Interview Omni-Directional Dynamic Microphone. This high-quality, durable microphone is specifically engineered for the most demanding professional applications, including live broadcasts, sound reinforcement, and podcasting.
This versatile microphone boasts an innovative shock-mounting technique, designed to significantly reduce mechanical-induced noise. All handling noises, clothing rustles, and cord shocks are effectively isolated from the microphone element, ensuring a clean, clear audio capture.
The RE50/b microphone features a high-mass zinc internal acoustic chamber, nestled within a machined aluminum outer casing. This unique construction offers an unparalleled degree of isolation for an omnidirectional dynamic microphone, making it a reliable choice for capturing audio in a variety of settings.
The internal transducer of this professional-grade microphone employs a unique mechanical nesting concept. Each part is securely nested within another, creating a nearly solid structure that is highly resistant to shock damage. This ensures the diaphragm remains unaffected by temperature extremes and atmospheric conditions, providing consistent, high-quality audio capture.
The RE50/b microphone is equipped with a carefully designed integral windscreen and blast filter. This provides excellent protection against wind noise, excessive sibilance, and the annoying "p-popping" often encountered in live recording situations.
Additionally, the RE50/b features a resilient grille that retains its shape even after impact, and a four-stage pop filter that prevents dust and magnetic particles from reaching the diaphragm. Finished in an attractive, non-reflecting, semi-gloss black, this microphone is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, making it ideal for on-camera use.
In summary, the Electro-Voice RE50/b Wired Shock-Mounted Handheld Interview Omni-Directional Dynamic Microphone is a high-quality, durable, and reliable choice for professionals seeking superior audio capture in any setting.
