The Essentials to Know About the Electro Voice RE 20 Broadcast Dynamic Microphone

  • "FM radio" voice: a sound signature that has become a benchmark for spoken voice, podcasting, and broadcasting.
  • Natural and uncolored sound: a clean recording with performance often comparable to a condenser microphone, while retaining the robustness of a dynamic mic.
  • Recording comfort: built-in wind and pop filter system + internal suspension to reduce plosives, breath noise, and vibrations.
  • Studio versatility: cardioid polar pattern and switchable low-cut filter to adapt the capture to the room and the source.

A Broadcast Classic That Has Also Conquered the Studio

The RE 20 is one of those microphones instantly recognizable by both listeners and sound engineers. Designed to meet the demands of broadcasting, it has established itself over time as a standard for achieving an intelligible, present, and stable voice without unwanted effects that complicate mixing. Within the Electro Voice range, it embodies the "work tool" philosophy: a proven design intended to handle back-to-back takes and sessions with exemplary consistency.

Rather than chasing flattering effects, the RE 20 aims for sonic reliability: it remains consistent from one take to another, which explains its enduring presence on radio, in voice booths, and in numerous studios.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The Electro Voice RE 20 broadcast dynamic microphone is aimed at content creators, hosts, streamers, podcasters, and voice actors who want a "ready for broadcast" sound with minimal post-processing. Its highly controlled approach to plosives and breath noise facilitates close-miking, typical of modern spoken voice.

In music production, it is also relevant whenever a solid and controlled capture is sought: sung vocals, brass instruments, guitar or bass amps, and even certain percussion instruments. Its cardioid pattern helps maintain focus on the source, which is practical in home studios or imperfectly treated rooms.

A Capture Designed for Voice, with Built-in Tools to Control the Low End

Built-in Pop Filter and Internal Suspension: Cleaner Takes, Faster

The RE 20 integrates a wind and pop filter system, useful for reducing plosives and air noises without always relying on external accessories. Its internal suspension limits the transmission of vibrations (mic stand, desk, handling), a real advantage in podcasting and voice-over work where close proximity to the microphone is common.

Optimized Frequency Response for Voice + Switchable Low-Cut Filter

Its frequency response is tailored for voice to maintain presence and clarity while keeping the low end controllable. The switchable low-cut filter helps clean up rumble, room vibrations, or excessive bass due to proximity effect, saving mixing time and securing the take right from recording.

A "Clean" Dynamic: Minimal Coloration, Maximum Control

Described as free from sonic coloration, the RE 20 primarily seeks neutrality and stability. This is precisely what makes it effective in broadcasting: the voice remains natural, with consistency that handles equalization and compression well. If you want a serious, intelligible capture that is easy to place in a mix, it is a particularly relevant choice.

This range includes dynamic and electrostatic models designed for the most demanding musicians and sound engineers. The RE20 and RE27 are benchmarks both in the studio and in broadcasting, eliminating all proximity effects: the sound reproduction remains clear, uniform, and of excellent quality whether used close or far. The RE200B, RE410, and RE510 are electrostatic microphones offering exceptional value for money: The RE200B is specially designed for instrument pickups (piano and acoustic guitar, for example) and is ideal for overhead use. The RE410 offers excellent rejection of unwanted sounds as well as maximum acoustic isolation. It is ideal as a vocal microphone. The RE510 is a hypercardioid microphone with a switchable low-cut filter, usable for vocals, choirs, and acoustic instruments.

A classic that does its job very well. Mainly used for voices at the moment, but tests on guitar amps are planned :)

Versatile. A very specific sound, listen to it and you'll adopt it. Thick, and thin at the same time.
