Electro-Voice RE90P-12 Wired Electret Condenser Microphone - Black
The Electro-Voice RE90P-12 is a premium podium microphone engineered for clear, articulate speech in live environments. This wired electret condenser microphone uses a back-electret capsule design and a robust 12-inch gooseneck to deliver dependable performance at conferences, meetings, teaching spaces, houses of worship, and other presentation venues. The back-electret technology provides higher sensitivity and a wider frequency response than traditional diaphragm-electret designs, translating to natural voice reproduction with excellent presence in the mix. Phantom-powered operation ensures consistent, reliable sound without the noise and voltage variability associated with battery-powered mics. With a sleek black finish and durable construction, the RE90P-12 blends into any podium or lectern while delivering professional sound quality that audiences notice and organizers value.
- High-sensitivity back-electret capsule: The RE90P-12 employs a back-electret design that delivers greater sensitivity and a wider frequency response, capturing vocal nuances with exceptional clarity while minimizing distortion in busy acoustic spaces.
- Phantom-powered, wired operation: This podium microphone runs on phantom power supplied by your mixer or PA system, providing clean, consistent performance without the need for batteries or extra power adapters.
- 12-inch adjustable gooseneck: The 12-inch gooseneck offers flexible positioning for speakers of all heights, keeping the mic out of the presenter’s way while maintaining optimal proximity for precise pickup.
- Excellent handling-noise rejection: The back-electret design enhances immunity to handling and mechanical noise, ensuring smooth sound even when speakers adjust the mic or reposition themselves during a presentation.
- Professional build and versatility: With a discreet black finish and rugged construction, the RE90P-12 is suitable for corporate boardrooms, educational facilities, houses of worship, conference centers, and other venues requiring reliable, high-quality sound reinforcement.

How to install Electro-Voice RE90P-12
Installing the RE90P-12 is straightforward and designed to minimize setup time in busy venues. Here are practical steps to get optimal performance from your podium microphone:
- Mount the RE90P-12 on your podium or lectern using the compatible mounting hardware. Ensure the microphone is positioned so that the gooseneck is comfortably within reach of the speaker without obstructing sightlines.
- Connect the microphone’s output to your audio system using the appropriate cable and connector. Make sure your mixer or PA channel provides phantom power in the standard range used by condenser microphones (typically 12–48 V, as supported by the equipment).
- Enable phantom power on the connected channel and perform a basic gain stage test. Start with a conservative input level and gradually raise it until the speaker’s voice is clear and free from distortion or feedback.
- Position the gooseneck so the microphone is pointed toward the speaker’s mouth at an appropriate distance (approximately 6–8 inches for most speaking voices). Avoid aiming the mouth too directly at the grille to minimize plosives and popping.
- Fine-tune the sound with any available equalization or feedback-control tools. If feedback occurs, try adjusting microphone positioning, lowering gain, or applying light high-frequency attenuation as needed while maintaining natural vocal fidelity.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What makes the RE90P-12 different from other podium mics?
A: The RE90P-12 uses a back-electret condenser design, which offers higher sensitivity, a broader frequency response, and superior immunity to handling noise compared to many diaphragm-electret options. Its 12-inch gooseneck and phantom-powered operation provide reliable, studio-like vocal clarity in live presentations. -
Q: Do I need any special power supply?
A: No special power supply is required beyond phantom power supplied by your mixer or audio interface. Ensure the channel you connect to supports phantom power and is compatible with condenser microphones. -
Q: Is the RE90P-12 suitable for large venues?
A: Yes. Its combination of sensitivity, clarity, and handles a wide range of speaking styles makes it a strong choice for conference rooms, lecture halls, churches, and other spaces where clear public-address pickup is essential. -
Q: How should I position the microphone for best results?
A: Position the gooseneck so the microphone is about 6–8 inches from the speaker’s mouth, angled slightly toward the mouth. Adjust the angle and height for comfort and to minimize plosive sounds while maintaining consistent pickup. -
Q: Can I use this microphone for singing or musical performances?
A: The RE90P-12 is designed primarily for spoken-word applications. While it can capture vocal performances, it is optimized for clear speech intelligibility in public-address scenarios rather than for music reproduction.
