We found it well suited to both Male and Female vocal applications. During announcements, pressing the appropriate channels effects mute button, allowed more than sufficient volume levels for announcements, without feedback issues.
We found it well suited to both Male and Female vocal applications. During announcements, pressing the appropriate channels effects mute button on the T1 allowed more than sufficient volume levels for announcements, without feedback issues.
During most vocal applications, given the outdoor area and music style, a light amount of reverb, gave a nice enhancement to the vocal, with out feedback problems. Using moderate, compression, gave rise to a potential feedback problem at higher levels. Further testing later, gave the impression that there was not sufficient benefit with the compression, to warrant the feedback risk. This has been observed to a greater extent with other microphones, in this setting.

I really liked the sound quality of the EV RE-2 system and the light comfortable feel of the wireless microphone itself. The battery life was excellent, with better than 8 hours performance.
I really liked the sound quality of the EV RE-2 system and the light comfortable feel of the wireless microphone itself. The battery life was excellent, with better than 8 hours performance. The responsiveness and clarity was equal to the wired version of the EV nd767a microphone. It has a nice proximity effect while eating the mic so to speak, that does not muddy up or get overly bassey sounding. I have a pair of wireless Nady UHF 10's, a Wireless Sure Headset (very thin sounding)and an SM58. I prefer these EV RE-2 microphones over any of them.

==Review Summary==
I've tried quite a few different microphones, both wired and wireless and this one is a definite keeper. I feel it has a reasonable price, value and quality to it.
