Description: Another professional favorite, the RE16 is like the RE15 except it has a different blast filter. An integral part of the RE16, the blast filter makes possible the closest hand-held use without and "P-pops." In all other respects, the RE16 is like the RE15. It's rugged, mechanically "nested" design is highly resistant to damage. Uniform response, independent of the angular location of sound, and super-cardioid rejection of unwanted sounds at 150 degrees off axis dramatically reduce corolation of off-axis pickup. Like the RE15, it has a "hum-buck" coil to reduce hum an extra 25 dB, a bass roll-off switch, and a Memraflex grille screen to retain its shape.

Information on the RE15:
Literally born in a Hollywood TV studio, the performance and reliability of the RE15 have made it the workhorse directional microphone for broadcast and high-quality sound reinforcement. Two nulls at 150 off axis provide greater average rejection ocer the microphone's rear hemisphere than a traditional single-null cardioid pattern, particularly usedfull on the boom and in many on-stage and recording studio applications. Frequency response is unusually independant of the angular location of sound. Essentially flat frequency response below 150 Hz (-10 dB at 50 Hz) eliminates the detrimental effects of common low-frequency noise. Use with the optional 411 floor-mount "mike mouse" for excellent on-stage pickup. The Memfaflex grille screen resists denting.

Using the mechanical nesting concept of design - the internal transducer parts are nested one within another - the PL20 is able to withstand all rigors of professional use.
