Electro-Voice RE20 Variable-D Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

Electro-Voice RE20 Variable-D Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

The Electro-Voice RE20 is the classic Variable-D dynamic cardioid used across broadcast, podcasting, voice-over and studio instrument miking. Its continuously Variable-D design holds low-end balance steady as the talent moves on and off axis, so you get less of the bass boom that close working usually brings on directional mics.

A large Acoustalloy diaphragm and low-mass aluminium voice coil deliver wide, detailed response without phantom power, while an integral blast filter, internal shock mounting, steel housing and hum-bucking coil keep plosives, vibration and induced hum in check. A bass-tilt switch on the body gives a useful low-frequency roll-off when you need a leaner voice or longer working distance.
