RE97Tx

Micro-Headworn

Condenser Microphone

with TA4F Connector

General Description:

The Electro-Voice® RE97Tx is an Ultra-low profile,
omnidirectional, back-electret condensor headworn
microphone designed for use with standard EV and Telex
belt packs. The RE97Tx is intended for spoken word use
such as Houses of Worship, Corporate AV, Theatre, Fixed
Install, and other venues where a full-range, natural, well­balanced sound is required. The omnidirectional polar pattern
of the RE97Tx provides a clean and accurate sonic quality
and uniform output regardless of the microphone’s position
relative to the sound source.

The RE97Tx is designed to be extremely flexible and easily
formed to fit over the ear of any user. The malleable boom
and earhook can be shaped to match virtually any contour.
The TA4F terminated cable is discretely routed behind the
user and attaches to the shirt collar with the elegant clothing
clip included, keeping the cable out of the way and preventing
the microphone from being pulled off the user’s ear. The
supplied windscreen can be used in windy environments
and to reduce breath noise.

The RE97Tx comes with a shielded 4ft cable terminated in a
high quality T A4F connector. It is wired for use with standard
EV and T elex belt packs including the EV (BPU-2/CSB-1000)
and Telex (WT-500/WT-1000) bodypack transmitters and
operates from a 5VDC supply.

Application Notes:

Figures 1 through 3 show the ideal position of the microphone in use. The end of the boom should be located
approximately ½” (13mm) back from the corner of the mouth and as close to the face as possible. This position
will optimize the signal to noise ratio and minimize the acoustic effects of breath noise.

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3

The microphone cable is routed
behind the neck of the user and
secured in place with the supplied
clothing clip as shown in Figure 4
and 5. Allow some slack in the cable
to enable the user’s head complete
range of motion in both directions
without pulling the cable from the
clothing clip.

Fitting:

1. Shape the boom: Figure 6 shows the microphone boom as received. Before placing the microphone over the

user’s ear, apply a slight bend to the boom, starting at the middle of the earhook, to aid the microphone boom in
forming to the user’s face.
