RE20 RE-Series : Multipurpose mic with a reliable punch.

I have used this microphone for many applications from vocals to percussion.

I find the sound slightly brighter but with a more solid midrange than an SM57 on guitar amps which helps the sound cut through in a busy mix.

Inside a kick drum the RE20 provides plenty of attack from the beater whilst still offering a quite traditional bass drum sound, not hyped like there Audix range. Also been very successful as a rear mic for a cajon.

The proximity effect is very controlled on this mic due to the shape and design which is perfect for vocalists who either prefer to hand hold the mic when performing / recording or have poor microphone technique when singing.

No, it's not cheap but you get a very robust mic in build quality and sound!
