About the Electrovoice RE20
The Electrovoice RE20 is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone built around a cardioid polar pattern and the brand's Variable-D design, which keeps proximity effect to a minimum for consistent results whether the source is close or at a slight distance. Its flat frequency response delivers natural, clear reproduction of voices and instruments, and a frequency range of 45 Hz to 18,000 Hz captures broad sonic detail. A built-in bass roll-off switch allows the sound to be tailored to different recording environments. Commonly used for broadcasting, studio recording, vocals, bass drums, wind instruments and public speaking, the RE20 has earned a reputation for versatility and long-term durability.
Electrovoice RE20 — buyer FAQs
What is the Electrovoice RE20 and what is it used for?
The Electrovoice RE20 is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone built around a cardioid polar pattern. It is commonly used for broadcasting, studio recording, vocals, bass drums, wind instruments and public speaking. Its Variable-D design minimises proximity effect, and a frequency range of 45 Hz to 18,000 Hz captures broad sonic detail, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of recording and live applications.
Who makes the RE20 and where does it sit in the Electro-Voice range?
The RE20 is made by Electro-Voice (EV), an American professional audio manufacturer founded in 1927 and known for microphones, loudspeakers, amplifiers and signal processing. Long owned by Bosch, the brand later moved to the Keenfinity Group. Within the EV microphone line, the RE20 is a long-established flagship dynamic model, widely adopted in broadcast and studio environments for its consistent, natural-sounding performance.
What does the Variable-D design on the RE20 actually do?
The Variable-D design is an engineering approach built into the RE20 that keeps proximity effect to a minimum. Proximity effect is the boost in low frequencies that most directional microphones produce when a source moves very close to the capsule. By reducing this, the RE20 delivers consistent tonal character whether the speaker or instrument is right up against the mic or at a slight distance, which is particularly useful in broadcasting and voiceover work.
Does the Electrovoice RE20 have any built-in sound-shaping controls?
Yes. The RE20 includes a built-in bass roll-off switch that allows the low-frequency response to be adjusted to suit different recording environments. This is useful for reducing unwanted room rumble or tailoring the microphone to specific sources such as vocals or instruments, without needing an external equaliser in the signal chain.
What should I check when buying a used Electrovoice RE20?
Check the condition of the capsule grille for dents that could affect the internal element, and confirm the bass roll-off switch operates cleanly. Verify whether a clamp or storage box is included, as used units are sometimes sold with original accessories. Condition and completeness of the package are the main factors that affect used pricing.
