Capture Studio-quality Vocals Onstage
Onstage, as in the studio, every nuance of the vocal performance counts. That’s where the Electro-Voice RE420 comes in. A high-performance handheld, phantom-powered cardioid condenser microphone, the RE420 delivers studio-grade sound onstage. Designed to capture all the detail and expressiveness of vocal performances, the RE420’s premium self-biased condenser element delivers a highly detailed yet rich and full-bodied sound with a clear, warm low end, natural and present midrange, and an open, crisp, and detailed high end. Performers and FOH engineers at Sweetwater are impressed with the Electro-Voice RE420. You will be too.

Designed for live vocals, great for instruments too
The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, with maximum feedback resistance occurring when a stage monitor is positioned 180 degrees off-axis to the element. This pattern also gives vocalists a comfortable range to work the mic. The RE420’s multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense foam separated by air, attenuating wind velocity caused by breath and wind blasts, while the switchable 150Hz highpass filter reduces undesirable low-frequency content and an internal shockmount isolates the microphone element from vibration and reduces handling noise. Although the RE420 is designed for vocals, it handles SPLs of up to 149dB, which also makes it a great choice for instrument sources such as electric guitar cabinets and snare drums.
