Electro-Voice RE16

The Electro-Voice® 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 handheld and outdoor use without "P-pops" 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 supercardioid, the RE16 provides its greatest rejection at 150° off-axis. (Supercardioids 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-bucking coil and screw-machined steel outer casing provides 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 MemraflexTM grille screen resists deformation. The exclusive nonmetallic Electro-Voice Acoustalloy® diaphragm is virtually unaffected by extreme atmospheric conditions. A carefully designed steel outer case provides additional mechanical protection. The finish is nonreflecting fawn beige.
