help Electro-Voice RE50B FAQ
Why is the Electro-Voice RE50B popular with television reporters?
It combines an omnidirectional pickup pattern with Electro-Voice's shock-isolation system, reducing handling noise when the microphone is moved between speakers. Its long body also works well for handheld interviews and microphone flags.
Does the RE50B need phantom power?
No. The RE50B is a dynamic microphone with a balanced XLR output, so it works without phantom power or an internal battery.
Will an omnidirectional RE50B pick up too much background noise?
It captures sound from every direction, but interviewers normally hold it close to the speaker so the voice dominates. The omni pattern also avoids the strong proximity-effect bass boost produced by many directional microphones.
What is the difference between the RE50B and RE50B/L?
The RE50B/L is the extended-length version intended for situations where extra reach is useful. Both retain the RE50 family's omnidirectional dynamic capsule and handling-noise isolation.
