General Description:

The Electro-Voice® model RE92H / RE92HW is a
professional quality miniature cardioid, electret condenser
microphone. It’s designed specifically for applications where
the microphone needs to be suspended from above the sound
source. The RE92H / RE92HW has a cardioid polar pattern
for high gain before feedback, and its condenser element
provides clear and natural sound reproduction. Exceptionally
high sensitivity, a uniform cardioid polar response, and smooth
frequency response make the RE92H / RE92HW ideally
suited for distant sound pick-up. The RE92H / RE92HW is
ideal for theatre, houses of worship, or any application where
a small, high quality mic needs to be “heard but not seen”.

The microphone is available in two colors, RE92H (Black),
and RE92HW (White). The integrated wire director can be
easily formed at the proper angle so that the mic points at the
desired sound source. The RE92H / RE92HW comes supplied
with 25 feet of cable. The cable is attached to the inline module
by means of screw terminals, so that if needed, the cable
can be easily shortened.

Application Notes:

When hanging one or more microphones to provide coverage for a choir, instrumental or theater group, the best microphone position for optimum sound
quality and feedback control depends on many factors–sound system characteristics, construction of the auditorium or theater, and the size and nature of
the performing group. Two general rules to observe for the best sound coverage are (1) microphone position and (2) the “3-to-1 rule.”

The first rule is to suspend the microphone approximately two to three feet in front of the first row of performers and two to three feet higher than the heads
of the last row of performers. The microphones are usually aimed to point at the last row of performers (see Figure 1). The second rule, the “3-to-1 rule,”
should be applied when more than one microphone is required, and their outputs are combined (as with a mixer). Following the 3-to-1 rule avoids the deep
voids and dips in frequency response that occur when two or more microphones “see” the same signal from slightly different distances. The 3-to-1 rule is
as follows: when multiple microphones are used, place them at least three times as far apart as any one of them is from the nearest sound source. Figure
2 shows a proper application of the 3-to-1 rule. The RE92H/HW may also be used to provide coverage for live theater applications (Figure 3). Most of the
action occurs at center stage, so the microphone should be positioned above and pointed to the center of the stage.

Placement

Adjusting the Microphone Direction:

For fixed installations, allow the microphone cable to hang for at least 24
hours so the cable can completely relax and establish a set. This allows
the microphone to be accurately positioned over a choir, stage or orchestra.

If the microphone needs to be pointed downward from its suspended
location, this can be accomplished by bending the wire director as needed.

If the microphone needs to be pointed in a different direction after installation:

1) Loosen the locking nut.

2) Twist the microphone, making sure the cable also rotates in the
wire director.

3) When you release the microphone, the direction it’s pointing will
have changed.

4) Repeat this process until the microphone is positioned properly,
and retighten the locking nut.
