Condenser Supercardioid Vocal Microphone
Electro-Voice - RE520
capture every detailThe Electro-Voice RE520 is a premium-grade, high-performance, condenser supercardioid vocal microphone. Designed to capture the exceptional detail and vivid clarity condensers are known for, it seamlessly delivers the lyrical finesse required for expressive vocal performances, while controlling off-axis sound from near-by sources. The sonic character is detailed, full and vivid, with a warm and clear low end, natural and present midrange, and an open, crisp and detailed high end.
The supercardioid pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation. Maximum feedback rejection takes place when a stage monitor position is at either 225° or 125° offaxis to the element. This pattern also allows for a cleaner mix due to its rejection of off-axis sound. The multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense foam separated by air, which attenuates wind velocity caused by breath and windblasts.
The high-pass filter has two positions (see drawing). The flat position delivers the full frequency band pass of the capsule. The high-pass position attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz. The built-in shock mount isolates the microphone element from vibration and guards it from handling noise.
