The RE510 is a supercardioid handheld condenser microphone with the flexibility to adapt
to different applications. The RE510 features great sound via a broad smooth bandwidth,
low distortion, and a wide dynamic range. The flexibility to adapt to different applications
comes thanks to a low-frequency boost switch, which makes it possible to configure the
mic as either a classic sounding live vocal microphone or as a high performance studio
microphone. In the roll-off configuration, the low end of the RE510 is tailored to
compensate for proximity effect while the upper-mid frequencies offer a clear and natural
response. When the RE510 is configured for studio mode, the low-end response is lifted
so that the RE510 becomes a versatile instrument microphone, or it can be used when a
performer needs to add warmth to their voice. The wide bandwidth and high SPL handling
capability of the RE510 makes it equally at home micing an acoustic guitar, electric guitar
amplifier, cymbals, or even a kick drum. The configuration switch for changing the RE510
from vocal to instrument mode is securely located beneath the ball screen and can’t be
changed inadvertently. Its solid EV design features include a Warm Grip handle for
reduced handling noise and a comfortable feel, a multistage pop-filter to virtually eliminate
breath noise, and a Memraflex™ grille for rugged durability.

The RE510’s 5/8-inch diameter, self-biased condenser capsule offers the warmth of a larger capsule design without sacrificing off-axis performance or transient response. A supercardioid polar pattern enhances acoustic isolation and off-axis rejection while a low-frequency roll-off switch tailors the low end for any application.
