Broadcast-standard dynamic microphone
The Electro-Voice RE20 is a cardioid dynamic microphone built for broadcast, voiceover and podcast work. Its Variable-D design minimises proximity effect so tonal balance stays consistent as the speaker moves. A tailored frequency response handles high sound-pressure levels without distortion. Rugged steel construction and low handling noise make it reliable for daily studio use.
Consistent off-axis rejection under load
The true cardioid pattern maintains nearly identical frequency response at 180 degrees off-axis, so room reflections and off-mic sounds stay neutral rather than coloured. This stability holds during long sessions where multiple speakers or shifting positions would normally introduce tonal shifts. The integrated pop filter’s 3-inch nylon screen reduces plosives and blocks moisture from reaching the diaphragm. An included XLR cable completes the signal chain without extra purchases.
Upgrade from entry-level USB mics
Users moving from basic USB microphones gain professional XLR connectivity, superior off-axis rejection and broadcast-proven durability. The jump is worth it when consistent voice quality, minimal proximity effect and long-term reliability become daily requirements. Buyers who need multiple polar patterns or onboard digital processing should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the RE20 dynamic microphone generate noticeable self-noise or heat during long broadcast sessions?
The RE20 is a passive dynamic microphone with no active electronics, so it produces no self-noise and no heat during extended use.
What additional equipment is required to connect the included XLR cable to a computer?
An audio interface or mixer with an XLR input and phantom power is needed to connect the XLR cable to a computer.
Will the RE20 cardioid pattern reject sound from my older monitor speakers placed behind it?
The true cardioid pattern provides maximum rejection at 180-degrees off-axis with no coloration, reducing pickup from rear-positioned monitors.
