RE16
Variable-D®Dynamic
Supercardioid
Microphone
General Description:
The Electro-Voice® 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
uniqueblastfilter.Theblastfilter, an integral partoftheRE16,
permits handheld and outdoor use without “P-pops” or
excessive wind noise. Utilizing the Variable-D® design the
RE16 features a directional characteristic independent of
frequency. The result is a microphone that generates little
off-axis coloration while providing the greatest rejection of
unwanted sounds. A supercardioid, the RE16 provides its
greatest rejection at 150° off-axis. (Supercardioids 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-bucking coil and
screw-machined steel outer casing provides 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 solid
mechanical structure that is highly resistant to damage from
mechanical shock. The MemraflexTM grille screen resists
deformation. The exclusive nonmetallic Electro-Voice
Acoustalloy® diaphragm is virtually unaffected by extreme
atmospheric conditions. A carefully designed steel outer
case provides additional mechanical protection. The finish
is nonreflecting fawn beige.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications:
The microphone shall be a Variable-D® supercardioid dynamic type with integral blast filter and with wide-range response uniform 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. Attenuation at frequencies from 100-4,000 Hz (referred to major axis signal value) shall
exceed 25 dB at 150° from major axis in any plane. Attenuation at 180° from major axis at frequencies from 100-4,000 Hz shall exceed
15 dB. Attenuation above 4,000 Hz shall exceed 12 dB. Polar characteristics shall be sufficiently uniform in all planes so that it is,
effectively, a supercardioid of revolution.A hum-bucking coil shall be provided in series with the microphone element. Hum pickup level
shall be -125 dBm (re: .001 gauss field). The hum-bucking coil shall decrease hum pickup by at least 25 dB. An integral passive-filter
network shall be provided such that when filter switch is in “on” position, low-frequency response shall be so deviated from “flat”
response that a fall of 6 dB from 1,000-100 Hz shall be affected. With switch in “off” position, microphone shall be essentially “flat” from
100-1,500 Hz, with a 6-dB rise in response from 50-100 Hz and a 2-dB rise occurring at 2,000 Hz extending to 12,000 Hz. Output level
shall be 1.4mV/pascal. The diaphragm shall be nonmetallic Acoustalloy‚ and shall have a shield to prevent dust particles from reaching
the diaphragm. The case shall be made of steel. The microphone shall have a maximum diameter of 45.2 mm (1.78 in), with 19.1 mm
(0.75 in.) diameter shank and a maximum length of 187.3 mm (7.38 in.) Finish shall be fawn beige. Stand adapter and carrying pouch
shall be supplied. The Electro-Voice RE16 is specified.
