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.
