Description
Few microphones carry the reputation of the Electro-Voice RE20. Decades after its introduction, it remains a go-to choice in broadcast booths and recording studios alike, prized for its ability to sound consistent no matter how a vocalist or instrumentalist moves around it.
That consistency comes from EV’s Variable-D design, which tackles proximity effect head-on — the low-end buildup that happens when someone gets too close to a mic. Paired with a built-in P-pop filter, the RE20 stays clean and controlled even on close-mic’d vocals and voiceover work. An internal shock-mount for the element further isolates the capsule from handling noise and stand vibration, so you get a quieter signal before any post-processing.
The large-diaphragm capsule delivers a warmth and detail more associated with studio condensers, while the true cardioid pattern holds its shape at 180 degrees off-axis, meaning it rejects rear noise without introducing tonal coloration. A humbucking coil keeps hum from nearby electronics out of your recordings, and an onboard bass roll-off switch lets you dial in the low end to match your voice or source.
Whether it’s tracking a podcast, voicing a commercial, or capturing a guitar amp on stage, the RE20 adapts to the job.
