The Electro-Voice RE20 is a dynamic broadcast microphone known for its smooth, natural sound and versatility across a wide range of applications. Designed with a large diaphragm and a unique Variable-D technology, it virtually eliminates proximity effect, ensuring consistent tonal balance regardless of mic distance. This makes it a go-to choice for radio and podcasting, delivering a warm yet articulate vocal presence with minimal boominess. Its flat frequency response and gentle presence boost provide excellent clarity for spoken word, while its ability to handle high SPLs without distortion makes it equally effective on kick drums, bass cabinets, and brass instruments.
Built like a tank, the RE20 features an internal shock mount that minimizes handling noise and vibrations, along with a built-in pop filter to reduce plosives. Unlike many dynamic mics, it offers a level of detail and openness often associated with condensers, making it a favorite for capturing natural, full-bodied recordings in both studio and live environments. Its cardioid pattern ensures focused sound capture with excellent off-axis rejection, preventing unwanted room reflections from muddying the signal. Whether used for broadcast, vocals, or instrument recording, the RE20 remains one of the most respected and reliable dynamic microphones in professional audio.
