Broadcast standard microphone
The Electro-Voice RE20 is a dynamic cardioid microphone finished in silver. It is built for broadcasting, podcasting and sound engineering where a controlled sonic character is required. Music producers also use it as a premium instrument microphone. The Variable-D design minimises proximity effect for consistent close-in voice work.
True cardioid polar pattern
The microphone maintains a true cardioid pattern with no coloration at 180-degrees off-axis. This rejects unwanted room sound while capturing the source naturally. A humbucking coil guards against electrical line hum. The large diaphragm dynamic element delivers studio condenser-like performance without phantom power.
Mid-bass tone shaping switch
A dedicated switch adjusts the mid-bass response to suit different voices or instruments. An internal element shock-mount reduces vibration-induced noise. The heavy-duty internal pop filter handles plosives without an external screen. A stand clamp is included for immediate mounting.

Questions about this item
How does the Variable-D design affect the sound when I speak close to the RE20?
Variable-D minimises proximity effect so bass stays consistent even at very close range, giving a smooth, natural voice tone without boomy buildup.
What does the true cardioid pattern with 180-degree off-axis rejection mean for my recording space?
It picks up sound from the front while rejecting rear sources at 180 degrees with no coloration, reducing room echo and bleed from monitors or other instruments.
How do I mount the RE20 on my stand or boom arm?
A stand clamp is included in the box, allowing direct attachment to standard microphone stands or boom arms without extra hardware.
