General Description:

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 low-end 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

Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal
preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement
of the microphone to gain optimal performance.

Standard Placement & 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 sound 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-before-feedback.
