Electro-Voice RE50B - Omnidirectional Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with Dyna-Damp Suspension

Electro-Voice RE50B - Omnidirectional Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with Dyna-Damp Suspension

The Electro-Voice RE50B is the industry standard for interview microphones for television, ENG/EFP, and print. Its “ mic-in-a-mic ” design with internal Dyna-Damp suspension isolates the capsule from bumps, cable tugs, and vibrations, delivering exceptionally low handling noise . The omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures uniform pickup around the mic, making it easy to move the microphone from interviewer to interviewee without losing sound. It features a four-stage pop filter and a Memraflex grille that springs back after impact, maintaining intelligibility even in windy outdoor environments.

Constructed from machined aluminum with a high-mass zinc internal acoustic chamber, the RE50B delivers an 80 Hz – 13 kHz response with 150 Ω impedance and 1.6 mV/Pa sensitivity (OCV at 1 kHz). Its semi-matte “camera black” finish prevents unwanted on-camera reflections. It measures 197 mm long, 49 mm maximum diameter ( 25 mm stem) and weighs 269 g . It connects via a 3-pin XLR and is supplied with a mic clip , pouch and Euro thread adapter .

Main features

• Omnidirectional pattern : consistent and stable pickup around the microphone, perfect for interviews on the go.
• Dyna-Damp Suspension : “mic-in-a-mic” system that dramatically reduces handling noise, bumps, and cable pull.
• Four-stage anti-plosives and Memraflex grille: minimize wind and p-pops and resist dents.
• Professional construction : machined aluminum body and high-mass zinc inner chamber for maximum decoupling.
• Non-reflective black finish ( camera black ) for on-camera use.
• Reference specifications : 80 Hz–13 kHz, 150 Ω, 1.6 mV/Pa (OCV), 197 × Ø49 mm, 269 g .

Product benefits

• Clean outdoor audio : less contact and wind noise, ideal for press conferences and quick coverage.
• Agile operation : omni pattern that is forgiving and maintains the level even if the angle or distance changes.
• Durability : Robust materials and elastic mesh for intensive field use.
• Full Compatibility : Low impedance balanced XLR output ready for cameras, recorders and mixing consoles.

Use cases

• Television and radio : street interviews, red carpets and mixed zones.
• Journalism and corporate : conferences, events, and testimonies on the move.
• Sound reinforcement : presentations and institutional events with non-specialized operators.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it dynamic or condenser? Dynamic ; it doesn't require phantom power.
• Does it have an on/off switch? No, to avoid accidental cuts during interviews.
• What accessories does it include? Clamp, bag, and European thread adapter (3/8").
