Back in black. The Electro-Voice RE20 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone is the perfect blend between performance and practicality. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or on-air. This premium dynamic microphone is designed to provide consistent high-quality results time after time.
From amplifiers to saxophones and vocalists to drums, there’s a good reason why the RE20 is considered a “desert island” choice by many industry professionals. Experience minimal proximity effect thanks to variable-D technology. The RE20 allows presenters and performers to move around the mic without experiencing any undesirable off-axis coloration. Thanks to the RE20’s true cardioid polar pattern, you’ll achieve a focused capture of any source with incredible rejection from both the sides and rear.
The inclusion of an in-built pop shield allows you to get up close to the capsule without the fear of plosives or sibilance taking control. Please note: The boom/stand mount is not included with the microphone.

What’s in a name? The RE20 is arguably one of the most iconic dynamic microphones in the world. Even if you don’t know its name, you’ve certainly seen one before. It was the go-to choice for Jacquire King when micing Nathan Followill’s kick drum during the recording of Kings of Leon’s “Only By the Night”. From Thom Yorke to Amy Winehouse and Paul McCartney to Jacob Collier, at the heart of many hits and great vocal sounds lies the RE20. Thanks to its modest price, now you too can share the same sonic footprint on your recordings.
Great sounds all-round. Whether it’s drums, bass guitars, vocals, or brass, the RE20 offers exceptional rejection from the rear of the microphone with absolutely no off-axis coloration. There’s a good reason why this is one of the most highly sought-after dynamic microphones on the market. The inclusion of an integrated wind filter allows you to achieve that up-close intimate vocal sound. You’ll be able to sing right up against the grill without worrying about plosives or excessive sibilance ruining those all-important takes.
Hybrid microphone. Recording with the RE20 is practically cheating. The combination of an Acoustalloy diaphragm and low-mass aluminum voice coil ensures the finest results straight out of the box. One advantage that the RE20 has over a large diaphragm condenser is its ability to react to instruments or vocalists with high SPLs. Results will be record-ready no matter how loud the musician performs as it’s hard to overload and distort this microphone. It is also capable of consistent performance in environments which offer high levels of humidity and temperatures. The RE20 boldly goes where no condenser dares!
Capture your true personality with variable-D. For the broadcaster who demands the best, the RE20 ensures zero loss in sound quality even when the distance between the microphone and the source is extended. And it’s all thanks to variable-D technology. This innovation in microphone engineering minimizes proximity effect with perforated pipes located on the rear side of the diaphragm. Put simply, your sound won’t become thin or less prominent when you move around the microphone. That means uncolored, undistorted damping, perfect for professional broadcasters and sound engineers.
