DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The Electro-Voice Model RE16
IS
a
Variable-D dynamic supercardioid
microphone
designed for the most exacting professional
use. It
IS
like the
RE15,
except that
it
uses a
unique blast filter. The blast filter, an integral
part of the RE16, permits hand-held and out-
door use without “P-popping” or excessive
wtnd
noise. Utilizing the Variable-D
design
the
RE16
features a directional characteristic
independent of frequency. The result
IS
a
microphone that generates little
off-axts
coloration while providing the greatest rejec-
tion of unwanted sounds. A
super-cardiold,
the RE16 provides its greatest rejection at
150°
off
axis.
(Typical cardioids provide
greatest rejection in the horizontal plane
when the microphone is tilted
In
its most
natural position
-30°
from horizontal (as on
a boom or floor stand). An easily operated
“bass-tilt”
switch
corrects spectrum balance
for boom use and other longer reach
situations.
A “hum-buck” coil and screw-machined
steel outer casing provide 25
dB
of hum
rejection. Hum pickup level is
-
125
dBm
(re:
,001
gauss field).
Using the mechanical nesting concept of
design, by means of which the internal
transducer parts are nested one within
another, the
RE16
transducer
IS
a nearly
solrd
mechanrcal
structure that
IS
hrghly
resistant to damage from
mechanlcal l
Shock.

ARCHITECTS’ AND ENGINEERS’
SPECIFICATIONS
The mlcrophone shall be a Variable-D(TM)
super-cardioid dynamic type
with
integral
blast
falter
and
with
wide range response
untform
from
80.15,000
Hz.
Proximity
effect
shall be
10
dB
less at 100 Hz than with
comparable Single-D designs. Response at
any angular position away from the
major
axis shall be essentially
similar
to the
response on the major axis, attenuated
uniformly
at all
frequencies
by an amount
appropriate to that angular position. Attenua-
tion at
frequencies
from 100 to 4,000 Hz
(referred to major
axis
signal value) shall
exceed 25
dB
at 150 deg. from major axis
In
any plane.
Attenutlon
above 4,000 Hz shall
exceed 20
dB.
Attenuation at
180°
from
major axis at frequencies from 100 to
4,000 Hz shall exceed 15
dB.
Attenuation
above 4,000 Hz shall exceed 12
dB
Polar
characteristics shall be
suffrcrently
uniform in
all planes so that
rt
IS
, effectively, a
super-
cardiold
of revolution.
A hum-buck coil shall be
provided
in
senes
with the microphone element. Hum
pickup
level shall be
-
125
dBm
(re:
,001
gauss
field). The hum-buck coil shall decrease hum
prckup
by at least 25
dB.
