The wide frequency response coupled with excellent transient response make the RE20 easily comparable to the finest condenser cardioid microphones and an easily operated “bass tilt down” switch corrects spectrum balance for use in long-reach situations or other applications where bass attenuation is needed.A true cardioid microphone the RE20 offers greatest rejection at 180deg. off axis – directly to the rear of the microphone. Pattern control is so consistent that the frequency response is nearly independent of angular location of the sound source creating virtually no off-axis coloration yet providing greatest possible rejection of unwanted sounds. An integral blast and wind filter covers each acoustic opening on the RE20. In recording sessions or on stage singers can “close talk” the microphone singing with their lips almost touching the grille screen with no worry of “P-pops” or excessive sibilance. Part of the filter also shock mounts the internal microphone element reducing the transfer of vibrations from external sources.
- Favorite of broadcast show hosts and voice-over studios
- Ideal for instrument recording especially kick drums and acoustic guitars
- Studio condenser response yet no powering required and immune to overloading
- Large Acoustalloy diaphragm and low-mass aluminum voice-coil
