The Product
The Electro-Voice 635A is an omnidirectional dynamic microphone designed for exacting professional applications such as film production, recording, broadcasting and electronic news gathering applications. A high output level and low sensitivity to mechanical shock, make it an excellent choice for interviews and for pass-around use in audiences. It features a diaphragm which permits very smooth response over a wide frequency range and the diaphragm is able to withstand humidity and temperature extremes, including corrosive effects of salt air, and severe mechanical shocks. It is practically indestructible with normal use and a four-stage pop and dust filter ensures a completely noise free performance, virtually eliminating the need for an external windscreen during outdoor use. An internal shock absorber effectively reduces the pickup of cable and other noise generated by external contact.
The Manufacturer
Electro-Voice had very humble beginnings when in September 1927, Lou Burroughs and Al Kahn began a small business servicing radio receivers in South Bend, Indiana. As a consequence of the Great Depression, they soon found themselves insolvent owing $5,000. This provided enough of an incentive for them to move their business in the direction of audio products, and in June 1930, they incorporated their business under the name Electro-Voice. At the time both Burroughs and Kahn felt that microphone designs around were of poor quality and over priced so they purchased a lathe and a drill and started producing about one microphone a week. Not long after Burroughs left the business, leaving complete ownership to Kahn. By 1933, the previous business debts were completely paid off and Electro-Voice began hiring employees to help in the production of the new designs. In 1936, twenty people were hired and Lou Burroughs returned as chief engineer.
Throughout the 40s, 50's and 60's Electro-Voice continued to grow and innovate producing a variety of products such as phonograph pickup cartridges and the first automatic TV booster. Loudspeakers and microphones joined their portfolio and with the brand gaining popularity and respect in the music industry Electro-Voice was established as a household name. In 1998 EV merged with equipment manufacturer Telex Communications, then in June 2006, EV, along with all of Telex Communications, became part of Bosch Security Systems division. Today EV is highly respected and continues to manufacture widely used broadcast microphones as well as loudspeakers and various other professional audio equipment.
