The Electro-Voice RE20 is a broadcast-standard dynamic cardioid microphone, renowned for its natural, smooth sound, robust build, and rejection of background noise. First introduced in the 1960s, it has become a favorite in radio stations, podcast studios, voice-over booths, and even instrument recording. The RE20 uses a Variable-D™ design to eliminate proximity effect, allowing for close-mic recording without excessive bass buildup. Its large diaphragm and internal pop filter make it ideal for vocals, speech, kick drums, and bass-heavy instruments.
