The Product
The Electro-Voice RE50N/D-B takes its design from the famous RE50 but with a Neodymium magnet structure delivering higher output and faster transient response. It is a specially shock-isolated omnidirectional dynamic microphone created for the most exacting professional applications and represents an advancement in shock-mounting techniques. It has been designed particularly for handheld broadcast and sound reinforcement use and all handling noise, clothing noise, and even cord shock have been isolated from the microphone element so that mechanically induced noise is greatly reduced. By use of a high-mass zinc internal acoustic chamber, shock mounted within the machined aluminium outercasing, the RE50N/D-B offers a degree of isolation unprecedented in omnidirectional dynamic microphones. The internal transducer uses a mechanical nesting concept all its own. Each part is nested inside another so that the head assembly is nearly a solid structure. It is highly resistant to damage from shock and the diaphragm is unaffected by temperature extremes and atmospheric conditions. A carefully designed integral windscreen and blast filter provides excellent protection from wind noise, excessive sibilance and annoying popping. It also has a grille that bounces back to retain its shape and a four stage pop filter prevents dust and magnetic particles from reaching the diaphragm. It is finished in an attractive, nonreflecting, semi-gloss black finish which is ideal for on-camera use.
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.
