Back on the topic of the EV RE55:
why would EV stop making, as far as I can tell,
the RE55 or ANY successor omni, flat frequency
response dynamic mike?
Because it costs a lot to make, and it's hard to sell in quantitites.
Are there such things still available, at least at that price level?
Most dynamic omnis seem to have large treble boosts or serious rough
response wiggles.
I talked to someone at Shure when they discontinued the SM80 omni
condenser mike. The guy said they sold so many thousand SM81s that
year, and nine SM80s.
There's a nice RE55 on eBay at the moment.
Sennheiser MD211 is hard to outdo. Durable too, one was used for two-way
communication during a mine rescue. Great for vox at 8 inches with a foam
windscreen.
Kind regards
