Never Used, still in original plastic box, rare Vintage Electro-Voice RE38N/D microphone.Pristine working condition. No scratches.It includes manual and original pop-screen.DescriptionThe Electro-Voice Model RE38N/D is a professional quality dynamic cardioid microphone designed especially for recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement applications requiring smooth tailorable response over a wide frequency range. The extended high frequency response and the 16-position equalization switch give the RE38N/D great flexibility in obtaining the appropriate sound for any situation. For those applications that require a deeper sound, the microphone has bass-boosting “proximity effect” when used up close. The amount of this “proximity effect” can be reduced by adjusting the equalization switch as shown on the frequency response curves. The “brightness” of the high frequency response is also adjustable with the equalization switch.The RE38N/D incorporates a revolutionary neodymium alloy magnet to provide high sensitivity. Combined with the inherent low noise of a dynamic transducer, the high sensitivity ensures a superior signal-to-noise ratio ready for digital recording and sampling. To further reduce noise, the microphone uses a hum-bucking coil to attenuate from lighting and other sources. The RE38N/D utilizes DynaDamp™, an advanced vibration-isolation material, so that a large external shock mount is not required for studio use. DynaDamp™ is a unique foamed elastomer, specially formulated for vibration control.The dynamic element of the RE38N/D provides reliable operation in humidity and temperature extremes. An Acoustifoam™ pop filter reduces both wind noise and “P-pop” breath sounds. The microphone features a rugged machined aluminum case and Memraflex™ grille screen designed to withstand all the rigors of professional use.To solve the problem of microphone placement the RE38N/D features a pivoting yoke configuration. With the unique pivoting yoke, the microphone can be easily adjusted to position the front toward the sound source. The yoke positions are detented to assure the microphone doesn’t shift during usage. This adjustment option in combination with the stand adapter provides a highly flexible mounting system.Using the Equalization AdjustmentsThe graphic pictorials on the RE38N/D nameplate provide an approximation of the 16 possible far-field (distant) frequency responses which may be selected. This flexibility allows the user to obtain a desired sound character in almost any situation right at the microphone. There are eight low frequency tailoring combinations and two high frequency combinations to yield a total of 16 possible frequency responses built into the RE38N/D. With these options, the user can compensate for proximity effect, low frequency noise and sibilance to get that “right sound.” The control is easy to adjust with a small screwdriver (provided) yet cannot be accidentally changed during use. Experimentation is encouraged with the equalization positions to get the performance best for your application.Shipping included for contiguous states only.
