ElectroVoice RE-90B Consumer Microphone

The Electro-Voice RE90B and RE90BW are part of the Architectural Microphone Series. The RE90B is a full-range condenser microphone designed to be used for surface mounted applications such as distance learning centers, video conferencing systems, teleconferencing systems, and sound reinforcements (see Figure 1). The polar pattern of the RE90B is half-cardioid (half-space cardioid) to promote good gain-be-fore- feedback and suppress ambient noise. All boundary type microphones operated on a flat surface are subject to an increase in sensitivity of the microphone with increasing frequency; this is called the baffle effect. To counteract this effect, the RE90B has been designed with internal equalization to give the RE90B a flat sensitivity response. The RE90B is designed to be powered by an external 9-52 V dc phantom power supply (DIN 45 596). The RE90B microphone is encased in a heavy-duty zinc die cast body protected by a strong, perforated steel screen. The body of the microphone is designed to provide two d
