Description
Electro-Voice Model 642 Long-Range Microphone, 1961
In 1963, Electro-Voice received the honor of being one of
the few manufacturers ever to receive an Oscar for
technical achievement for the Model 642 Cardiline, a long-
range mic. Also called a “shotgun” mic, many film and
television sound engineers felt that the 642 significantly
advanced the quality of sound on film.

The award, in part, read “To Electro-Voice for a highly
directional dynamic line microphone... capable of picking
up sound in situations where a microphone cannot be
placed close to the sound source and where unwanted
sounds are to be discriminated against."
