Electrovoice RE97LTx Black

A Lavalier Microphone Designed for Voice, in the Spirit of Electro-Voice Solutions

The RE97LTx fits within Electro-Voice's approach: offering reliable, field-oriented tools for voice capture. In a black version with a non-reflective finish, it primarily aims for discreet visual integration, whether in audiovisual environments, presentations, houses of worship, or on stage. Its electret condenser technology is particularly suited for lavalier microphones, seeking a clear and precise sound while maintaining minimal bulk.

Who Is the Electro-Voice RE97LTx For?

This lavalier microphone is intended for speakers, lecturers, hosts, actors, and video teams who want close, stable capture that is not sensitive to orientation changes. Thanks to its omnidirectional pickup pattern, it is especially suitable for situations where a fixed head or torso position cannot be guaranteed: dynamic presentations, demonstrations, interviews, or stage performances with movement. It can also be relevant for technical crews and providers seeking a microphone that is easy to deploy with compatible beltpack transmitters while maintaining consistent vocal reproduction from one speaker to another.

Key Features: Intelligibility, Stability, and Quick Integration

Electret Condenser Capsule: Precision and Presence

The RE97LTx's electret condenser capsule is designed to reproduce voice details with an extended response while maintaining a signature suited to speech. Its frequency response from 50 Hz to 15 kHz preserves both consonant clarity (essential for intelligibility) and a solid low end to avoid a sound that is too "thin" or harsh, depending on the voice and placement.

Omnidirectional Pickup Pattern: Consistent Voice Even in Motion

The choice of an omnidirectional capsule promotes more uniform capture when the speaker turns their head or slightly changes the microphone angle. Practically, this helps maintain a more stable level and timbre than some more directional solutions, especially in speech, presentation, and audiovisual uses where ease of use is paramount. This feature is also appreciated when seeking a natural sound capture, with less proximity effect related to distance or axis.

Level Handling: Designed for Projected Voices

In the field, a lavalier microphone must handle wide dynamic ranges: whispers, normal speech, and louder passages. The RE97LTx offers a maximum sound pressure level above 120 dB SPL and a dynamic range exceeding 88 dB, useful for limiting saturation risks when the voice gets louder while maintaining usable reproduction during quieter moments. The self-noise of 32 dB SPL (A-weighted) allows appreciation of its behavior in speech capture, especially when gain needs to be increased depending on distance and context.

Attached Cable and TA4F Connector: Efficient Deployment with Beltpack Transmitter

The RE97LTx comes with a 122 cm attached cable, a practical length for discreet routing under clothing and connection to a beltpack transmitter. Its TA4F connector is stated as compatible with Electro-Voice and Telex beltpack transmitters, facilitating integration into an existing wireless chain without multiplying adapters. For technical teams, this is a direct advantage: fewer intermediate parts, fewer weak points, and faster setup between speakers.
