The RM 510's sophisticated capsule design features an ultra-light, barely 3 micrometre thick aluminium ribbon that delivers spectacular frequency response and exceptional transient behavior. A unique sound channelling technology provides the capsule with its cardioid polar pattern making the RM 510 the very first ribbon capsule perfect for use on stage with wireless microphone systems. The capsule's treble resonator delivers rich high-frequency reproduction and also serves to protect against "plosives." In keeping with beyerdynamic's manufacturing philosophy, every RM 510 wireless microphone capsule is handmade in Germany.

By employing a sound labyrinth on the rear of the diaphragm and using an advanced acoustic fabric, beyerdynamic has succeeded in improving not only the sound characteristics but also the technical specifications of the RM 510. A subtle attenuation in the 6.5 kHz range effectively suppresses sibilant sounds and supports the balanced and unobtrusive sound of the RM 510.
