The artist will be pleasantly surprised when they hear how their voice was rendered. This mic has some handling noise and artists must be counseled on gentle handling. This inconvenience aside, the presence and timbre of the RE-16 is unequaled. YOU WANNA HEAR IT? Just type... xVHrMNjO0Uo ... in the Utube searchbox.

This mic outclasses almost everything in this price range. It is the legendary RE20 diaphragm in a smaller body with more blast filtering for stage use, with only slight sound compromise.Like the RE20, the RE16 is an "everything" mic. It sounds great on vocals, acoustic guitars and other instruments, including piano or even drums - for both sound reinforcement and recording. Very natural, uncolored sound, more accurate and extended high frequency response than competitors. More detailed tonal response produces richer overtones for vocals or instruments. Sounds like a good condenser, but much more dynamic headroom, and often smoother highs. (Doesn't have that metallic, nasal sound typical of many condenser mics priced below[$].) Absense of proximity effect means the tone does not get more "bass" sounding up close, but doesn't thin out further away either. Also, the RE16 has better response when addressed somewhat from the side, that is, "off-axis". These two features make it so your vocal doesn't disappear when you turn your head to look at guitar, or effects, or another band member. The mix is more consistent because EQ remains more constant. (If you're hooked on prox. effect, you may not like this mic, but your voice will sound better than with virtually any mic under [$].) Accurate, flat high frequency response means higher gain before feedback. Bullet-proof construction. Check [...] used section for used RE16's. They've been around for a long time for a reason. Sound techs: This mic is almost completely free of off-axis coloration. Consequently leakage is clean and solid sounding, instead of boxy and muddy like a lot of mics that appear to have tighter patterns. To match with SM58 - boost EQ 3dB @ 80 Hz, and cut 3dB above 10 kHz, (relative to EQ settings for SM58). To match Beta87a - boost EQ 3 dB @ 80 Hz, and cut 3dB above 16 kHz, (relative to settings for Beta87a).
