The broadcast standard for decades The RE20 is the broadcast studio voice-over mic used by pros for years. The RE20 is smooth across a wide spectrum of frequencies, and because it's a Continuously Variable-D mic, it's virtually free of bass-boosting "proximity effect" when used close. An easy "bass tilt down" switch corrects spectrum balance for use in longreach situations or other bass attenuation applications, making it great for acoustic and electric bass and kick drum. The Electro-Voice RE20 is a studio and broadcast standard! Electro-Voice RE20 at a Glance: Cardioid Mic Large-diaphragm Dynamic Immune to Proximity Effect Cardioid Mic A true cardioid microphone, the RE20 offers greatest rejection at 180 degree off-axis - directly to the rear of the microphone. Pattern control is so consistent that the frequency response is nearly independent of angular location of the sound source, creating virtually no off-axis coloration, yet providing greatest possible rejection of unwanted sounds. An integral blast and wind filter covers each acoustic opening on the RE20. In recording sessions or on stage, singers can "close talk" the microphone, singing with their lips almost touching the grille screen with no worry of "P-pops" or excessive sibilance. Part of the filter also shock mounts the internal microphone element, reducing the transfer of vibrations from external sources. Large-diaphragm Dynamic The exceptional performance of the RE20 is achieved by using a large Acoustalloy diaphragm in combination with an exceptionally low-mass aluminum voice coil. Using this diaphragm assembly, the RE20 is capable of reproducing extremely high sound pressure levels with no fear of the overload and distortion often experienced with phantom-powered condensers. The RE20 will also continue to function flawlessly in high humidity and elevated temperatures that would seriously degrade competitive condenser microphones. A massive steel housing and effective hum-bucking coil assure the RE20's resistance to magnetically induced hum and noise. This means the RE20 can be used successfully in situations where other microphones would experience unacceptable levels of hum and buzz. By exploiting the strength of its steel housing and employing a mechanical nesting concept, EV designers have created an exceptionally rugged microphone with superior handling noise rejection ideally suited for professional uses. Immune to Proximity Effect The bass-boosting proximity effect common to most directional microphones when used close to the sound source, is eliminated in the RE20. This is accomplished via the application of the EV-exclusive Variable-D technology. By controlling the effect of microphone proximity, the RE20 can be located very close to sound sources without a loss in clarity or definition making the RE20 ideal for tight vocals and challenging instruments. It can be used inside bass drums, on acoustic guitars, and is found in voice booths and broadcasting studios everywhere.

Customer Reviews  Astounding Clarity & Presence   by from Philadelphia, PA, October 03, 2008 Music Background:  Producer/Engineer “We just put this mic up (through 1073>Pultec>LA-3) next to an original 251 (through 1073>LA-2A) for a low male vocalist, and there was NO comparison. The presence and power of the RE20 made the vocal sound bigger than life (especially in the intimately quite parts); my new favorite vocal chain!” • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "I bought my first RE20 in1982 to use on my demos for Motown. In all these years it has never failed me. Believe it or not, my partner used to like to record vocals with it. For me, it is still my choice for a kick drum." Greg Baum   "The RE20 is one of my 'secret weapon' mics. It provides some of the best sounds for spoken word available, but I've learned it can be a great singing mic and it sounds great on kick drum as well!" Brian Cravens   "A cool trick I used in the studio was to wrap an RE20 in a heavy blanket and place it about two feet in front of the kick drum. You get a really low kick drum thud that you can add into your drum sound." Maynard Madsen  Tell a Friend About the RE20!  Print This Page See Also:  Dynamic Mics
