RE20 RE-Series : Love this mic

A popular mic for broadcasting, this mic worked really great for me on vocals for several reasons. First, as a dynamic mic, it was much more forgiving in my home studio without picking up distant sounds like a condenser mic does. And the lack of proximity effect (unnatural lowering of frequencies when you get closer to the mic) meant I didn't have to remember the exact spot I was standing in between vocal takes. For a dynamic mic it also has much more clarity and better frequecy range than an SM58 (albeit at 5X the cost). It also took a pretty good unfortunate tumble but had no damage - its really well built.

The only negative is that it really needs a sold overhead shock mount which isn't include. It is quite a heavy mic, and as you sing into it head on, its hard to keep it in position, or from falling forward.

Worked well for vocals, also upright bass.
