Get detailed, full, and vivid vocal tone in live stage applications and studio recording with the Electro-Voice RE520 Supercardioid Condenser Vocal Michandheld supercardioid condenser vocal microphone. Its supercardioid condenser capsule produces a wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz while delivering a high maximum SPL of 150 dB. The supercardioid polar pattern yields optimal acoustic isolation by rejecting sounds entering from the rear and sides of the diaphragm. A selectable 150 Hz high-pass filter allows simple and effective control of low frequencies.

Plosives and wind noise are attenuated by the integrated multi-stage pop filter, and the internal shockmount absorbs vibrations to reduce handling noise. Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output connector and phantom-powered operation, the RE520 is compatible with most mixers, audio interfaces, and mic preamps. It includes a stand clip and a gig bag.

Q: 1. Looking to store an mkh8050 and 2x mkh50s in a run bag (using this one: BH #POCSDV4U ). I leave the Rycote INV mk3 shockmounts on the mics for convenience, as well as the foam windscreens (bubblebee spacer BH #BUBBISBXS & rycote super softie BH #RYWSQAT) for additional protection. am currently putting the mics in these porta brace zipper bags (BH #POCSB93 ) to separate them within the run bag, but wanted to see if there's anything slightly larger (to fit w/ the foam windscreens, not just the rycote shockmounts) & slightly more robust in terms of protection?

A: Perhaps you can use something like the OP/TECH USA Lens/Filter Pouch, Large (B&H # OPPLFL) which is 9" high and has a 4.5" diameter, or the Ruggard Fold-Over Neoprene Lens Pouch - 3.5 x 6", Black (B&H # RULPNF35X60) or the Tenba Soft Neoprene Lens Pouch - Black, 9 x 4.8" (B&H # TETSLP948B). The Tenba Soft Molded EVA Lens Capsule with Extra Padding - Black, 9 x 4.8" (B&H # TE636359) has a more structured design for added protection. Even though these items are intended for use with camera lenses, they certainly can be used to protect the Sennheiser MKH 8050 Compact Supercardioid Condenser Microphone together with the windscreens and perhaps with the shockmount too.

Q: 2. Will this fit a Heil PR-40?

A: Because the On-Stage Pop Blocker for Electro-Voice RE20 and RE320 Microphones is designed specifically for the EV mics mentioned in its title, it may not work well with the Heil Sound PR 40 Dynamic Cardioid Front-Address Studio Microphone. This is due to the smaller diameter of the PR 40 and the lack of adjustment on the pop blocker's clasp.

Q: 3. Hoping to use this with a crown condenser headset mic. Will phantom power (48v) pass through this adapter?

A: Used it for a similar application and had no issues sending phantom power.

Q: 4. MADE IN GEMANY ?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser E845S is made in Germany.

Q: 5. Some sites list the frequency range as 35Hz-20KHZ, while others (including yours) list it as 70Hz-20hz. Which is correct?

A: The frequency response of the Austrian Audio OC707 True Condenser Vocal Microphone is listed as 35 Hz to 20 kHz in the manufacturer's specifications. The manufacturer may have had an error in their original specs which incorrectly listed the range as 70 Hz to 20 kHz. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can have our web team update the information.

Q: 6. What is the best windshield (dead cat) that will fit?

A: Since the Sennheiser MKH 8050 Microphone is only 2.9" long with a 19mm diameter, you can use the Bubblebee Industries "The Spacer" Bubble Windshield & Fur Cover System for Small-Diaphragm Mics - Black, Extra-Small (B&H # BUBBISBXS) or the Rycote Baseball Felt-Covered Windscreen - Black, 19/20mm, Single (B&H # RY039701). Both items will fit properly and will provide sufficient protection from wind noise. If you need a replacement for the foam windscreen that comes included with the mic, you can order the Sennheiser MZW-8000 Windscreen for MKH8000 Series Microphones (B&H # SEMZW8000).

Q: 7. What type of batteries does this charge?

A: The RE3-ACC-BC2 Two-Slot Battery Charger is designed to charge NiMH rechargeable AA battery cells for Electro Voice RE series Handheld and bodypack transmitters.

Q: 8. What is the thread size for the included stand clip?

A: The stand clip included with the ND76S is 5/8 . A thread adapter is included for connection to stands with a 3/8 threading.

Q: 9. would the mkh50 or the mkh8050 be the best choice for recording indoor dialogue for narrative film, in cramped, reflective spaces with low ceilings?

A: While both microphones are excellent, many videographers prefer the Sennheiser MKH 50 Compact Supercardioid Condenser Microphone for recording indoor dialogue for film over the Sennheiser MKH 8050 Compact Supercardioid Condenser Microphone. The MKH 50 is more commonly used for this type of application and it does a very good job of reducing reflections and background noise.

Q: 10. Would the MKH 8050 make a good on-camera mic? on the Blackmagic 6K Pro?

A: The Sennheiser MKH 8050 Compact Supercardioid Condenser Microphone is not really designed as an on-camera mic, but it could be used in that manner if needed.
