Electro-Voice Electrovoice RE50B Mobile Interviewer Kit

The Electrovoice RE50B Mobile Interviewer Kit from Fotohaus Klinger is a microphone, audio interface, and cable setup designed to provide high-quality speech reproduction and compact portability for correspondents, interviewers, and hosts using using a smartphone, camera, or computer. It includes the Electro-Voice RE-50B handheld dynamic microphone, an IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2 Ultracompact XLR Microphone Interface, and an XLR microphone cable.

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.

Equipped with the IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2Ultracompact XLR Microphone Interface, you can easily record your favorite dynamic or condenser microphone to a smartphone, tablet, camera, or computer while keeping your setup simple and small. The included AA batteries power the iRig Pre 2 for up to 20 hours, so you can knock out podcasts, vocal parts, interviews, or instrument performances no matter where you are.

Simply hook up any microphone to the XLR input (engage phantom power for condenser mics) and connect the 3.5mm TRRS mini plug on the attached 15.7" cable to your mobile device, DSLR camera, or laptop. The iRig Pre 2's auto-sensing output circuit ensures compatibility with TRRS headset ports and TRS mic inputs. Plus, the level-adjustable headphone out and switchable direct monitoring allow convenient real-time audio checks. Other enhancements over the original iRig Pre include a soft-touch exterior, numbered gain and headphone level dials, and larger LED indicators.

To use your favorite dynamic or ribbon mic, simply turn off the phantom power, and you're good to go for even longer—up to 20 hours.

A time-saving 3.5mm headphone output now offers direct monitoring, so you can listen to ensure the signal is perfect before you start recording or streaming. It's ideal for today's popular livestreaming and video recording apps, so you can hop from app to app with confidence.

For DSLRs and digital cameras, it makes set up a snap without needing to dive into menus or set up alternate workarounds to monitor the sound.

You can easily access your favorite apps while recording or performing, by mounting the iRig Pre 2 to your mic stand or other convenient stage location using the included hook-and-loop strip slot. For secure mic stand mounting for your connected smartphone or tablet, check out the IK Multimedia iKlip series (available separately), which offers a choice of flexible mounting options for a variety of scenarios.
