In the world of broadcasting , the ElectroVoice RE20 Variable-D® dynamic cardioid microphone is truly an industry standard, a firm favorite among broadcasters and sound engineers worldwide. Its popularity also extends into music production as a premium grade instrument microphone. Its Variable-D design and heavy-duty internal P-pop filter reduce proximity effect, while an internal element shock-mount reduces vibration-induced noise. Odds are, you’ve seen it a million times before in television and movies and in front of the worlds most popular radio personalities. So why is this mic so special? Well mostly, it’s 2 unique features:

1.the windscreen built INTO the grill handles both popping and sibilance

2.the exclusive “Variable-D” technology makes it immune to proximity effect, despite having a cardioid polar pattern

And somehow, the RE20 maintains a consistent frequency response at any angle. Yet at the same time, also rejecting unwanted noises.
