Electrovoice RE97LTx Beige

A Lavalier Microphone Designed for Stage, Interview, and Broadcast

Electro-Voice is a recognized brand in the professional sound recording world, especially for microphones intended for voice and demanding environments. The RE97LTx fits this logic: offering a reliable, easy-to-deploy, and consistent-sounding lavalier microphone for uses where discretion and intelligibility are paramount. Its beige finish facilitates integration on suits, skin, or accessories, making it a natural choice for "invisible" capture in events, theater, conferences, or video.

Who Is the RE97LTx For?

The RE97LTx is aimed at speakers, actors, trainers, journalists, and technicians seeking a compact voice capture solution capable of following movements without significant timbre variation. In omnidirectional mode, placement is generally more forgiving than with a more directional microphone: you get a consistent voice even when the person speaks while moving or slightly changing orientation.

It is also a relevant microphone for video sets, interview recordings, and corporate events, as long as it is paired with a compatible wireless system via its TA4F connector. Its 122 cm fixed cable offers a practical length to reach a bodypack transmitter worn on the belt or in an inner pocket, while maintaining a clean setup.

Features and Strengths for Clean Voice Capture

Electret Condenser Capsule: Precision and Presence

Electret condenser technology is suited for spoken voices and detail capture, with a clear and well-defined sound. With a frequency response stated as 50 Hz to 15 kHz, the RE97LTx covers the essential spectrum for speech and much of light singing/voice uses, while remaining coherent for room playback, video capture, or conference sound reinforcement.

Omnidirectional: Natural, Consistent, More Forgiving in Placement

The omnidirectional pattern favors natural reproduction and level consistency, especially on a lavalier microphone that can be positioned variably (jacket lapel, collar, shirt, tie, stage costume). This choice helps limit coloration effects related to axis changes and makes usage more reassuring when precise placement cannot be guaranteed.

Level Handling: From Soft Speech to Projected Voice

With a maximum sound pressure level above 120 dB SPL and a dynamic range greater than 88 dB, the RE97LTx is comfortable in varied situations, from close speech capture to louder stage voice. This helps avoid distortion when the speaker moves closer to the microphone or raises their voice, provided the bodypack transmitter gain is properly adjusted.

Simplified Wireless Integration: TA4F Connector

The TA4F connector is designed for compatibility with EV and Telex bodypack transmitters. This is a key point to save setup time: you stay within a coherent ecosystem, with a connection adapted to the constraints of stage and event use. The microphone maintains a "plug and play" approach once the transmitter/receiver pairing and levels are set.
