The Radio Voice. Electro-Voice is renowned for their presence in radio and in particular the full vocal tone they provide. The Electro-Voice RE20 Dynamic Broadcast Mic is a broadcast-industry standard that gives you an exceptionally clear and defined low-noise performance.
Reduced Proximity Effect. On top of the vocal tuned frequency curve, the RE20 has EV’s Variable-D design for 180-degrees of even vocal tone around the front of the mic. This is particularly useful in group recording sessions where speakers need the freedom to look around.
Professional Quality. This mic is designed from end to end for professional applications. That means a rugged housing and grille that protect hand-assembled internals. And that means this mic is rather substantial at about 8.5 inches and 1.5 lbs, so you’ll need a heavy stand like the Triad-Orbit OM Desktop Tripod Boom Stand to properly support it.
The Technical Stuff. This microphone features a cardioid polar pattern with a dynamic, neodymium-magnet capsule, so no phantom power is required. The design gives a fast response and added clarity in high frequencies. It has humbucking coil guards so you can push gain without having to worry about interference and hum, and a high SPL rating allows it to be used on loud audio sources without the fear of damage. A bass tilt-down switch helps eliminate rumble and low-frequency noise while correcting spectrum balance when the person speaking isn’t close to the mic.
