DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS

The Electro-Voice Model RE16
Variable-D dynamic supercardioid
a
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 hand-held and outdoor use without “P-popping” or excessive
wtnd
noise. Utilizing the Variable-D

RE16
features a directional characteristic
independent of frequency. The result

super-cardiold,

(Typical cardioids 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.

steel outer casing provide 25
