Electro-Voice RE20 (Beige)

Broadcast Announcer Microphone with Variable-D (Fawn Beige)

A broadcast industry standard, the RE20 Broadcast Announcer Microphone with Variable-D from Electro-Voice is a cardioid dynamic microphone that delivers reliable, low-noise performance with exceptional clarity and definition. This model is styled in the classic fawn beige finish.

This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

Tailored Response

Response tailored especially for vocals with high sound pressure handling capabilities.

Construction

Rugged, steel construction with low handling noise.

True Cardioid Pattern

The RE20 features a cardioid polar pattern with no coloration at 180-degrees off-axis—the frequency response is nearly independent of angular location of the sound source, creating virtually no off-axis coloration, yet providing the greatest possible rejection of unwanted sounds.

Internal Windscreen

An internal blast and wind filter eliminates pop and wind noise at the closest proximity. 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.

Bass Tilt-Down Switch

The bass tilt switch corrects spectrum balance for use in long-reach situations and eliminates low frequency noise and rumble.

Flat Frequency Respone

The RE20’s flat frequency response remains flat even at extremely close proximity.
