EV RE20 RE-Series

My fav radio mic.

I own a sm7b and this RE20. Both go to rhe i respective dbx286s. For some reason my voice doesn’t work with the sm7b (same settings) but sounds perfect with the RE20. The sound is extremely important as I talk on a weekly radio show broadcast on more than 140 radios across the globe (one of the world’s largest syndication). Needless to say, I need something very solid and the RE20 is absolutely amazing.

Amazing speaker for recording brass

I use this all the time to record my trombone at home and other brass instruments. A fantastic mic and at a very reasonable price.

Warm voice

Makes my voice sound warm when podcasting, helps achieving the "radio voice" in my barytone range. Not entirely Barry White but gets me closer.

Built like a tank.

Probably my favourite in the studio

I originally bought this mic as a bass drum mic.

But, for years I totally missed out on it's versatility.

It is a super smooth, well rounded, even and clear sounding mic.

It captures the lows of pretty much anything perfectly and has this wonderful roll off the top end.

It is so versatile and easy to use, strong and robust and probably my favourite mic in the studio.

I have used it on bass drum, bass cab, floor tom and vocals.

In every instance it is the easiest of all my mics to mix. Basically it captures the sound I want every time.

Close your eyes and click "buy"!

Seriously, I won't try to explain where this mic is good at, because it can be used everywhere. Except where the size and weight will not allow you... Because the beast heavy! And you'll need a real proper stand to hold the it in place if you don't want to see what 600€ look like when hitting the floor...

The best for me

I use it for voice over work and I couldn't be happier.

The best all around dynamic mic

Suitable for the most recording applications , you can easily record everything. Broadcasting, bass drum, floor Tom , bass, toms, wings etc .Extremely high built quality. Highly recommended

Just great for spoken word

Much nicer sound than the NT-1 that I was previously using and, relative to that, cuts about 10 dB from the fan noise coming from my desktop rack of AV kit (in which the fans in anything that is out of warranty or is reasonably priced have been replaced with Noctua).

Amazing Mic, hard to drive

So I tested out multiple microphones for spoken word and this one is without a doubt, a winner. Having that said, you should be careful if you are using a preamp that costs ±200 EUR, it might not be powerful enough to drive it.

I also have RE320 and that one can easily be driven with something like Evo 4, however this one requires some extra punch.

After using it for quite a while, I can honestly say that this mic is legendary.

My new favorite vocal microphone!

Absolutely fantastic for both studio and live work. Loving it.
