enjoyable for everyone. The presenter wants
to sound his or her natural best, without fear
of feedback, cut-out, noise or distortion — or
of sounding like a different person when
switching microphones. Sound reasons for
selecting Electro-Voice RE90 Series architec­tural microphones.

These miniature electret condenser micro­phones are available in podium, hanging,
lapel and boundary models. Fixed. Portable.
Omnidirectional. Unidirectional. An EV
family of microphones suitable for many
applications and venues. Each with the same
great sensitivity to sound pick-up and a
remarkable clarity and consistency. Even
when shifting from one RE90 to another —
they have the same frequency response
characteristics. No need to remix. It’s all in
the family.

But there is still more to recommend the
RE90 Series. Streamlined, they blend seam­lessly into the architecture. They are also
models of simplicity. For easy installation, use,
and service (should service ever be required),
the power module is integrated within each
microphone — no need to install a separate
unit. Yet, the lapel mic is smaller, the hanging
mics more shapely, the podium mics more
slender, and the boundary mics lower in pro­file, than others on the market.

Wherever they’re used — house of worship, board­room, school auditorium — EV RE90 Architectural
Microphones blend seamlessly into the architecture.
Models of simplicity, they are easy to install, use
and service (should that ever be necessar y).

Perhaps you think the quality and design
innovations of the Electro-Voice RE90 Series
places them beyond your budget. Not at all.
Neither now nor later. Not only are they com­petitively priced, they are unconditionally
guaranteed for two full years and backed by a
limited lifetime warranty on the element.
They are, after all, made by Electro-Voice.

RE90H/RE90HW UNIDIRECTIONAL
HANGING MICROPHONE

Ideal for choir, instrumental and vocal groups, and live
theatre, this hanging microphone is so sensitive it catch­es the smallest sigh, the softest note. So faithful to the
performance, so natural in delivery, everyone in the
audience can hear every word, experience every
nuance. It’s ideally suited for distant sound pick-up,
with a precisely controlled polar response designed to
suppress feedback without coloring the sound.

The RE90H/RE90HW features an exclusive braided,
shielded cable which prevents the microphone from
rotating, keeping it firmly in place, even with wide
swings in temperature or humidity . There’s no need for
awkward “fish-line” tethering.

• Non-reflecting black (RE90H) or low-gloss white
(RE90HW) with matching cable.

• Shielded pre-amp is highly-resistant to electrical noise and
radio frequency interference.

• High gain electronics for added reach.

• 25-ft. braided, shielded cable maintains microphone’s
position (no rotation).

• Cardioid polar pattern.

• Three-pin male XLR-type output connector.

Acoustically designed for high-quality sound reinforce­ment and public address applications, this slim-profile
podium microphone picks up and reproduces sound
naturally for either distant or close-up delivery. The
gooseneck, 12-inch (RE90P-12) or 18-inch (RE90P-18),
can be precisely positioned without excessive twisting
and turning. Small in diameter, it has two supple joints
and a rigid center tube.

The electronics module is housed in the gooseneck
base, which makes installation and service quick and
easy. The RE90P mounts to a lectern, pulpit, or podium
equipped with the proper receptacle. Or install with
the optional flange-mount and shock-mount kits.
Unobtrusive, however it is used.

• Small, streamlined appearance.

• Quick-connect to female XLR-type, 3-pin receptacle.

• Permanent installation with optional FMK flange-mount
kit and CPSM shock-mount kit.

• Choice of 12

-inch or 18-inch gooseneck.

• Microphone can be exactly positioned without unsightly
twisting and turning.

• Uniform cardioid polar pattern.

• Steel construction reduces noise from magnetic field and
RFI.

RE90B/RE90BW BOUNDARY MICROPHONE

With the lowest profile of any boundary microphone,
the RE90B/RE90BW is one of the smallest available.
Unidirectional, it picks up every word and delivers it
fully and naturally, without the distraction of ambient
noise.

RE90L ULTRAMINIATURE,
O

MNIDIRECTIONAL LAPEL MICROPHONE

Hearing is believing (you have to look closely to see it).
Ultraminiature and ultralightweight, anyone wearing
the RE90L can easily forget he or she is wired. Designed
for sound reinforcement in applications such as houses
of worship, schools and business presentations, this
smallest, lightest of all microphones on the market, has
the highest quality sound characteristics. It is well­balanced throughout its full range. Omnidirectional
output is uniform and natural, no matter where the
microphone is placed.

The compact electronics housing is made of a high­strength polycarbonate that is very lightweight but very
durable. A side clip attaches the unit to belt, waistband
or pocket.

• Ultraminiature and lightweight (the smallest available).

• Omnidirectional.

• Tiny but sturdy 6-foot shielded cable.

• Alligator and tie-tac clips included.

• Lightweight, clip-on electronics pack.

The RE90B is specifically designed for surface-mounted
applications such as distance learning centers, video- or
teleconferencing systems, classrooms, and houses of
worship. It can be placed on a surface for temporary
use, routing its miniature cable from the rear where it’s
barely visible. Or installed permanently, with the hid­den cable routed through a hole in the surface.

The microphone is equipped with internal padding,
printed circuit board, fiber washers for the mounting
screws, and a rubber, non-slip pad covering the entire
base. These elements combine to give you the advan­tage of extremely low surface-to-microphone vibration.
And built-in equalization provides a fuller, more natur­al sound than other typical boundary microphones.

• Nonreflecting black (RE90B)or low gloss white (RE90BW)

• Heavy-duty zinc die-cast body and strong, per forated steel
screen.

• Low profile.

• Half-cardioid polar response promotes excellent gain­before-feedback.

• Built-in electronic equalization compensates for baffle
effect.

• High gain electronics for greater reach.

• Fixed or portable.

• Miniature 6-foot cable, two-way cable routing, and tamper­resistant terminal block connection.

• Full-base, non-slip shock pad.

• Electrically isolated case.

An exclusive braided, shielded cable prevents the
RE90H/RE90HW hanging microphone from rotating,
even with wide swings in temperature or humidity. No
