If the golden age of radio had a physical form, it would be the Electro-Voice RE20. This dynamic cardioid microphone is the heavyweight champion of the broadcast world, blending the warm, authoritative tone of classic FM radio with the precision needed for modern production.
It's a true workhorse, built to capture the subtle nuances of human speech as flawlessly as the chest-thumping impact of a kick drum. You get the massive, larger-than-life sound of a premium condenser mic wrapped in a rugged, forgiving dynamic design that begs to be pushed to its limits.


Most microphones punish you for getting too close, turning a warm baritone into a muddy mess. The RE20 rewrites the rules of acoustic physics with its legendary Variable-D design. You can lean in, lean back, or move around the mic without constantly riding the EQ knob to fix the tone. It gives broadcasters, podcasters, and vocalists a massive, forgiving sweet spot, ensuring your voice always sounds rich, robust, and beautifully balanced.
Don’t let its reputation as a broadcast microphone fool you; this heavy metal cylinder is a formidable weapon in the live room. Because it handles extreme sound pressure levels without breaking a sweat, sound engineers constantly reach for it when tracking loud, aggressive sources. It thrives in chaotic acoustic environments, pulling pristine audio out of blaring amplifiers and resonant acoustic instruments with equal grace.




Microphones get dropped, bumped, and battered. It looks like a piece of vintage industrial art and feels incredibly solid in the hand, machined from heavy steel to protect the delicate acoustic components inside.
The Electro Voice RE20 is what happens when acoustic brilliance meets bulletproof engineering. It captures the soul of spoken word while offering the sheer brawn required to track the loudest instruments in your studio. It’s a microphone for creators who demand pristine, authoritative audio without constantly fighting their gear.


Yes, the RE20 is an industry-standard broadcast microphone that provides a rich, radio-ready voice tone. Its Variable-D technology and internal pop filter make it incredibly forgiving for podcasters who move around while speaking.
No, the RE20 is a dynamic microphone, meaning it does not require 48V phantom power to operate. However, because it has a low output level, you may need a high-quality preamp or an inline gain booster to get a strong signal.
Variable-D is an exclusive Electro-Voice design feature that eliminates the proximity effect. It ensures your voice maintains a consistent, natural tone without unwanted bass buildup, even if you move extremely close to the microphone.
Both are legendary broadcast microphones, but the RE20 has a flatter bass response and eliminates proximity effect via Variable-D. The SM7B tends to have a slightly flatter midrange, while the RE20 is often preferred for a more authoritative, natural low-end tone.
Absolutely. The RE20 can handle extremely high sound pressure levels and captures a fantastic balance of deep low-end thump and snappy beater attack, making it a favorite among studio engineers for kick drums.
