Every day, for local, national, and international news reports, the Electro-Voice RE50L with Long Handle gathers the audio for news interviews. Designed specifically as an ENG/EFP interview microphone, the RE50L'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.

Measuring 9.5" in total length, this extended handle length version delivers all of the sonic performance of the RE50B, adding the virtues of a longer body length for ease-of-use, helping keep the reporter's hand out of the shot.

Q: 8. I've found some issues with playback via mobile devices. It records properly, imports, and exports. Connected to both a DSLR and Vixia HV40 via XLR-Stereo Mini-Plug, However, when uploaded and anyone tries to use headphones or tries to playback on a mobile device the sound is garbled. Any thoughts?????

A: Hi. I had the same issue. Was really annoying. Not sure what editor you use or if you do, but I use adobe premiere pro cc, and if I go to effects, and add the effect fill left with right or right with left , can't remember which one I used, but add that effect and then it works fine. Not sure how other editors would work. But thats the only solution I've found.

Q: 10. I already have a Tascam DR-10L Pro. Is there an adaptor that will allow me to use this (or another ENG mic) without a new rec?

A: An adapter cable such as BH #RECASEK100M could technically be used to connect a dynamic ENG mic to the Tascam DR-10L, but this would not be recommended. Dynamic microphones will need more gain than the DR-10L is designed to provide, and results may not be as desired.
