Electro Voice RE520

Designed to reveal the exceptional detail and vivid clarity synonymous with condenser elements, it elegantly delivers the lyrical finesse required for expressive vocal performances, while controlling off-axis sound from near-by sources.

The sonic signature is detailed, full and vivid, with a warm and clear low end, natural and present midrange, and an open, crisp and detailed high end.

The supercardioid pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation. Maximum feedback rejection occurs when a stage monitor position is at either 225 or 125 offaxis to the element. This pattern also allows for a cleaner mix due to its rejection of off-axis sound. The multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense foam separated by air, which attenuates wind velocity caused by breath and windblasts.

The high-pass filter has two positions (see drawing). The flat position delivers the full frequency band pass of the capsule. The high-pass position attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz.

The internal shock mount isolates the microphone element from vibration and guards against handling noise.

• Premium condenser element delivers a highlydetailed, full, and vivid sound

• Supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation and feedback control

• Multi-stage pop filter minimizes breath blasts and plosives

• Selectable high-pass filter reduces undesirable low frequency content when engaged

• Vibration-absorbing internal shock mount minimizes handling noise
