Electro-Voice RE97TX BLACK - Ultra-Compact Omnidirectional Headset Microphone (TA4F, One Ear)

The Electro-Voice RE97TX BLACK is an ultra-low-profile , single-ear , back-electret condenser headset microphone designed for spoken word use in theater, corporate AV, worship, and fixed installations. Its omnidirectional polar pattern delivers consistent , natural pickup even when the performer turns their head. It works with EV/Telex bodypacks via a TA4F connector and can be used wired using the included TXA (TA4→XLR) adapter. The black finish and ultra-slim boom maximize on-stage discretion.

It delivers a 50 Hz to 15 kHz response with 4 mV/Pa sensitivity (≈ −48 dBV) , 32 dBA equivalent noise floor, and 93 dB dynamic range. It handles levels over 125 dB SPL before clipping. It requires +5 V DC bias from the bodypack (< 500 µA consumption) and features 3 kΩ output impedance. Its capsule and boom arm fit within a maximum diameter of 3.05 mm , incorporates a 1.22 m shielded cable , and weighs only 17 g , facilitating long sessions in total comfort.
