The Electro-Voice RE50B Omnidirectional Microphone and Tascam DR-10X Recorder Kit from B&H features an RE50B handheld dynamic microphone and a Tascam 24-bit/48 kHz recording solution for ENG (Electronic News Gathering) applications. It can be used to capture audio during interviews, press conferences, and meetings with any dynamic or battery-powered condenser microphone with an XLR output.
The Tascam DR-10X recorder features both manual and automatic gain settings, and has a low-cut filter and limiter to prevent overloads. The dual recording mode captures a copy of the audio at a lower level, so if there is distortion, you have a backup safety copy. It records to microSD/SDHC cards. Recording can begin instantly by holding the record side switch while turning the unit on.
In addition, The Electro-Voice RE50B microphone is considered the industry standard for handheld interview mics in broadcast television production. It is heard and seen in the reporting of news correspondents around the globe.
Every day, for local, national and international news reports, the Electro-Voice RE50B gathers the audio for news interviews. Designed specifically as an ENG/EFP interview microphone, the RE50B's custom Dyna-Damp "mic-within-a-mic" shockmount provides extremely low handling noise for clear sound. A large, built-in Acoustifoam filter keeps wind and P-pop noise to an absolute minimum, indoors or out. Frequency response is 80 Hz to 13 kHz.
With the TASCAM DR-10X Micro Plug-On Audio Recorder attached directly to your preferred microphone, you can record full-resolution dialog and speech while skipping the trouble of long cable runs and avoiding the confusion of configuring a wireless microphone system. Whether you use a handheld dynamic mic or a battery-powered condenser (both available separately), the lightweight DR-10X can be discreetly affixed to the mic without weighing it down. Thanks to its small, low-profile design, the DR-10X is ideal for news gathering, interviews, weddings, and vlogs where the audio equipment needs to stay out of sight.
Run-and-gun videographers will appreciate its ultra-compact form factor and power-up-and-record workflow for time-sensitive shoots. There's no need to select inputs, arm tracks, or choose channel modes. Connect the DR-10X to your microphone, start recording, and let it roll for the rest of the day. A single AAA battery will keep it running for up to 10 hours, so all-day gigs won't be a problem. Power the DR-10X via USB if you need indefinite operating time for sessions that continue on into the night. Worried about clipping? Don't be. The DR-10X's limiter and auto-level functions work to prevent overloading, while the dual-recording feature makes a safety track at a lower level, just in case.
