Electro-Voice Microphones

Five Families. Every Voice Covered.

From the working band's first vocal mic to the voice of broadcast — and two wireless platforms to cut the cable. What makes each family special, and which one belongs on your stage.

PL Series — the Working Band's Kit

Start here — live mics tuned for the gig, priced for the gig bag.

Supercardioid vocals with pop control built in, plus a kick-snare-overhead drum trio with the clamps in the box. Step up to ND when you want premium capsules and wireless heads.

  • PL80a vocal with built-in Acoustifoam pop filter and dent-resistant Memraflex grille

  • PL33 kick and PL35 snare/tom mics voiced for their jobs — DRC-1 rim clamp included

  • Neodymium magnet structures with strong off-axis rejection throughout

For: working bands · rehearsal rooms · house kits

5 mics · Vocals + drums

ND Series — the Stage Standard

The step up — neodymium dynamics for every source on stage.

Four vocal tiers from everyday cardioid to the presence-switched ND96, and instrument mics with pivoting heads that aim without moving the stand. The vocal heads drop straight onto RE3 wireless.

  • Hydrophobic membrane protects every capsule from moisture and stage abuse

  • ND96 flagship adds a selectable vocal presence lift for dense mixes

  • Instrument mics handle 140+ dB with locking pivot heads and drum clamps

For: gigging vocalists · drummers · houses of worship

8 mics · Vocal + instrument

Broadcast & Interview — the RE Legacy

The specialists — the microphones radio was built on.

Variable-D technology removes the proximity effect, so the RE20 family sounds the same at any working distance — and the shock-isolated RE50s take that reliability into the field.

  • RE20: the broadcast legend, unchanged because it never needed to change

  • Variable-D across the studio line kills bass build-up at close range

  • RE50 omnis: shock-isolated, wind-filtered, camera-black for ENG

For: podcasters · broadcasters · voice-over artists

R300 — Wireless Made Simple

The easy wireless — press ClearScan, sync, done.

Handheld, lavalier or headworn systems that find their own clear channel and sync over infrared. When rigs grow or heads need to swap, RE3 is the step up.

  • ClearScan picks the clearest of 32 channels at one button press

  • EZsync infrared pairs receiver and transmitter in seconds

  • True antenna diversity; tabletop or 19-inch rack

For: schools · worship · meeting rooms

3 systems · One-button setup

RE3 — Pro UHF Wireless

The pro platform — pick a head, pick a band, build the rack.

Handheld systems with ND and RE condenser heads, bodypacks for lavalier, headworn and instruments, and diversity receivers with a group-and-channel workflow made for multi-system rigs.

  • Interchangeable heads: the ND76, ND86, ND96, RE420 and RE520 go wireless

  • Multiple UHF bands with 36 MHz of tunable bandwidth per system

  • Antenna-diversity receivers, splitters, boosters and chargers for full racks

For: touring acts · AV production · larger venues

9 configurations · Interchangeable heads
