Electro-Voice RE92H Wired Condenser Microphone - Black
The Electro-Voice RE92H is a precision miniature cardioid condenser microphone designed for professional use when you need the mic suspended above the sound source. This wired mic delivers clean, natural pickup with focused directionality, making it ideal for overhead placements on stages, film sets, broadcast rooms, and studio environments. With a compact black housing and a robust build, the RE92H blends discreetly into any rig while delivering dependable performance, even under demanding production schedules. Whether you’re capturing a choir, a drum kit’s cymbal bloom, or ambient stage chatter, this microphone offers clear articulation, excellent proximity handling, and consistent results across multiple takes and environments.
- The cardioid electret condenser capsule offers articulate, intelligible pickup with strong off-axis rejection, so your main sound source stays front and center while background noise and room reflections are minimized. This makes the RE92H particularly well-suited for overhead use where detail and clarity are essential, such as vocal ensembles, acoustic instruments, and percussive elements.
- Engineered for overhead suspension, the RE92H keeps the microphone out of sight and out of the performer’s way while maintaining stable proximity to the source. The result is consistent gain before feedback and uniform tonal balance across dynamic performances, interviews, or on-camera shoots that demand a clean audio signal with minimal mic handling noise.
- Built to endure professional productions, the RE92H features a durable black housing that resists routine wear and tear from frequent mounting, repositioning, and transportation. Its compact capsule minimizes visual intrusion on camera and stage, while the rugged construction ensures reliable performance across long recording days and touring schedules.
- Versatile in its applications, this miniature condenser performs beautifully with voice, choir ensembles, orchestral underscoring, and ambient sound capture. The mic’s natural top-end presence and well-defined midrange help preserve intelligibility even when the source is softly spoken or singing in close proximity to other performers, delivering a balanced, studio-like tone in live or on-location setups.
- Designed for easy integration, the RE92H pairs with standard preamps and mixers, enabling straightforward routing into your existing audio chain. Its understated footprint and flexible mounting options make it a favorite for filmmakers, broadcast crews, and live sound engineers who need reliable performance without drawing attention away from the subject.

how to install Electro-Voice RE92H
- Plan the mounting position carefully so the microphone sits above the source without appearing in the frame, ensuring the cardioid axis points toward the desired capture area for optimal gain.
- Choose compatible overhead suspension hardware and route the cable along the rigging or ceiling structure, keeping lines tidy and protected from accidental tugs or vibrations.
- Connect the RE92H to a mic preamp or audio interface using a clean, high-quality cable. Verify that your preamp provides the appropriate power or bias per the microphone’s requirements, and adjust gain carefully to avoid clipping.
- Position the mic relative to the source to achieve consistent loudness and tonal balance. Slight tilt or angle adjustments can help emphasize the desired frequencies while minimizing room reflections and electronic noise.
- Test with a range of material—spoken word, singing, and instrument cues—to confirm that proximity and directionality deliver the intended clarity. Make any final placement and gain tweaks before recording or live performance.
