Description
The Electro-Voice ENG 618 is a hypercar-
dioid-line (shotgun) back-electret condenser
microphonedesignedforbroadcastnewsgath-
ering applications where selective pickup in a
multisound environment is required.
The frequency response of the ENG 618 mi-
crophone can be varied by the 200 Hz roll-off
switch. In the roll-off position the ENG 618
provides a full-range, well-balanced sound
character for clean and accurate voice repro-
duction. In the flat position, low-frequency
sounds can be sourced for background spe-
cial effects or to mic specific natural or envi-
ronmental audio.
The microphone’s hypercardioid-line polar
characteristicprovidesmaximum output from
the desired source, while rejecting unwanted
off-axis noise.
The ENG 618 boom pole is designed to ex-
tend allowing the integral microphone to be
placed over several rows of people with little
effort. The product's light weight and excel-
lent balance allows consistent audio coverage
without fatigue.
The ENG 618 is easily collapsed to 18 inches
overalllengthforquickand efficienttransport.
ENG 618
Integrated Shotgun/
Boom-Pole Microphone
• Electret Condenser
• Collapses to 18 inches—expands
to 6 feet
• Highly Directional
• High Sensitivity
• Very Lightweight Carbon Fiber Pole
• Suspension Shockmount
• Built-in Headphone Amp
• Phantom or Battery Powered
• Low-Battery Indicator
Powering the ENG 618
The ENG 618 is powered by an external
12 - 52 volt phantom power supply or
9-V battery. The battery is needed to oper-
atethe headphone amplifiercircuit. Initial use
of the battery circuit, causes the low-battery
indicator to flash momentarily. The low-bat-
tery LED remains on when the voltage drops
indicating a need to replace the battery.
Operation
To operate the ENG 618, use high-quality
balanced cable with XLR connectors to con-
nect the electronics housing to the mixer in-
put.If the mixer is supplyingphantom power,
this will power the ENG 618 with or with-
out the 9-V battery. Without phantom power
the ENG 618 requires a 9-V battery.
An 1/8-in. mini-plug may be used to connect
an 8-ohm stereo headphone to the ENG 618.
Plugging into the headphone jack automati-
cally switches on the battery power to the
volume-adjustableheadphone amplifier. This
allows the operator to hear the “sound field”
through the headphones whether on-line via
the XLR connector or not. This can be very
usefulwhendoinga background environmen-
talsoundcheck beforetheactual “on-air” use.

The headphone jack could also be used to
connect to a portable tape recorder for quick
minimal equipment coverage.
Each segment of the telescoping boom pole
can be secured with a twist of the collet at
any position along its length. By loosening,
the segments can collapse quickly into each
other. Folding the microphone toward the
handle allows the unit to locate into the base
for storage.
