RE510
▪ 5/8" diameter self biased condenser capsule offers
the warmth of a larger capsule design without
sacrificing off-axis performance or transient
response
▪ Low-frequency roll-off switch enables tailoring of
low-frequency response to meet application
requirements
▪ Supercardioid polar pattern for superior feedback
rejection and acoustic isolation
▪ Modern high-speed electronic design for extremely
low distortion, and outstanding transient response
▪ High current differential output stage can drive long
microphone cables without loss of performance
The RE510 is a professional quality hand-held
condenser microphone that was designed especially
for vocalists. The RE510 features a 5/8" diameter
capsule, advanced electronic design, and best of all, a
sound that will enhance any vocal performance.
The high frequency response of the RE510 has been
designed to provide just the right amount of definition
and “air” without the stridency so common in other
condenser vocal microphones.
The low frequency response of the RE510 in
combination with the low frequency selector switch
provides versatility that was designed to be truly
useful. With the low frequency selector switch in the
rolled off position, the low end of the RE510 is tailored
to compensate for proximity effect and provides full,
clean sound without muddiness. When increased lowend is desired, placing the low frequency selector
switch in the flat position adds just enough warmth to
be noticeable, but not overbearing.
The wide bandwidth, high SPL handling capability, and
low frequency selector switch of the RE510 also make
it a versatile instrument microphone for most any
application.
The low frequency selector switch is securely located
beneath the ball screen and can’t be changed
inadvertently.

Microphone Use and Placement:
Miking techniques are a matter of personal preference.
These are guidelines to assist in the placement of the
microphone to gain optimal performance.
Polar Response:
Usage Optimal Placement
Vocals Zero to six inches from the windscreen and on axis with
the microphone.
Spoken
Word
Five to ten inches from the windscreen, and on axis
with the microphone.
Standard Placement and Use Guidelines:
1. Always point the microphone at the desired source of
sound, and away from any unwanted sources.
2. The microphone should be located close to the sound
source to minimize interference from other potential
sound sources.
3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones.
Place each microphone three times farther from other
microphones as from the desired source.
4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce
unwanted mechanical noise.
5. Working close to the microphone will increase the
bass tone and also provide increased gain-beforefeedback.
