Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
The RE50 is very much an industry workhorse. You know when purchasing this product you are buying a reliable tool of the trade which with a little care will give a good twenty plus years of service.
Like the Shure SM58 or Sennheiser 416 the RE50 has carved itself a notch as an industry standard.

After reading great reviews about this product I was looking forward to testing it out. I have used it for some interviews as well as setting it up on a boom pole to capture dialogue. It is definitely the go to Mic for ENG and indie films.

Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
Can't complain about much of it. Good stand-up/intro microphone and can run as a pinch-camera shotgun.
You can never go wrong with a basic microphone

Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
The EV did not disappoint on its first use at the London Notting Hill Carnival launch. I was commissioned to produce three short clips for webcast and a 40 minute film of the event. The EV was used for interviewing VIPs and distinguished guests. Linked to a Shure FP33 audio capture was pristine despite my 15 year old son at the controls. No echo or handling noise inside and certainly no wind noise outside. I didn't even use a windshield! The presenter I used kept waving the mic around initially due to nervousness (or did she lie to me about not being camera shy)? Not a single pop. There were no reflections in the video footage due to the matt black finish which gave it a quality look too.
First impressions - excellent sound capture with quality you can feel. I look forward to the journalistic and documentary use I purchased it for.

Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
Used with the Sennheiser transmitter this mike is the best there is for interviews. It is shock mounted so you can't hear handling noise. It has a clear sound. It minimizes sound in crowded rooms and the intended speaker is clear as a bell. It is built as solid as a rock.

Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
I use this mic to do interviews for radio pieces. The sound is great. Durable, reliable, versatile to a certain extent (not the best mic for recording big live music events, for example). Minimal handling noise. Perfect mic for recording voices of people within close range.

Comments about Electro-Voice RE50/B - Omni ENG Mic (Black):
The re50 looks like a solid hand mic and that is exactly what it is. I am using it as my main mic when shooting as a single person crew. It's range is really good and just sounds crisp. If you need a eng hand mic this it.
