Electro-Voice RE520-RC3

This capsule is designed for wireless transmitters that use a standard 1.25-inch, 28-thread pitch. It is compatible with most major professional wireless systems that accept screw-on capsules, but you should verify your specific transmitter's thread specifications before purchasing.

The supercardioid pattern is highly directional, which means it excels at isolating your voice while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This makes it an excellent choice for loud stages where you need to minimize feedback and bleed from other instruments.

Yes, as a condenser microphone, it requires phantom power to operate. It is designed to run on the 4-8 VDC phantom power typically supplied by standard wireless handheld transmitters.

The multi-stage pop filter is constructed from dense foam and is highly effective at taming plosives and breath blasts for most vocalists. Unless you are performing in extremely windy outdoor conditions, you likely won't need an additional external windscreen.

The high-pass filter allows you to roll off unwanted low-frequency rumble or proximity effect, which is the bass boost that happens when you get very close to the mic. It helps keep your vocal mix clean and prevents the sound from becoming muddy.

Compared to a typical dynamic microphone, the RE520-RC3 offers significantly more detail, a faster transient response, and a more open, crisp high-end. It provides a studio-quality sound that captures the nuances of a vocal performance more accurately.
