Information |
A broadcast industry standard, the Electro-Voice RE20 is a
cardioid dynamic microphone that delivers reliable, low-noise performance
with exceptional clarity and definition.
The RE20 is the broadcast studio voice-over mic used by pros for years. The
RE20 smooth across a wide spectrum of frequencies, and because it's a
Continuously Variable-D mic, it's virtually free of bass-boosting "proximity
effect" when used close. An easy "bass tilt down" switch corrects spectrum
balance for use in longreach situations or other bass attenuation
applications, making it great for acoustic and electric bass and kick drum.
The Electro-Voice Model RE20 is a professional quality dynamic cardioid
microphone created specially for recording, broadcast and sound
reinforcement applications requiring essentially flat response over a very
wide frequency range. The wide frequency response, coupled with excellent
transient response, makes the RE20 easily comparable to the finest condenser
cardioid microphones, however, the RE20 is virtually free of bass-boosting
proximity effect when used close, because in design it is a Continuously
Variable-D microphone. An easily operated bass tilt down switch corrects
spectrum balance for use in longreach situations, or other applications
where bass attenuation is needed.
A true cardioid microphone, the RE20 offers greatest rejection at 180° 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. The exceptional performance of the RE20 is achieved by using a
large Acoustalloy diaphragm in combination with an exceptionally low-mass
aluminum voice coil. Using this diaphragm assembly, the RE20 is capable of
reproducing extremely high sound pressure levels with no fear of the
overload and distortion often experienced with phantompowered condensers.
The RE20 will also continue to function flawlessly in high humidity and
elevated temperatures that would seriously degrade competitive condenser
microphones. A massive steel housing and effective hum-bucking coil assure
the RE20's resistance to magnetically induced hum and noise. This means the
RE20 can be used successfully in situations where other microphones would
experience unacceptable levels of hum and buzz. By exploiting the strength
of its steel housing and employing a mechanical nesting concept, EV
designers have created an exceptionally rugged microphone with superior
handling noise rejection ideally suited for professional uses.
The bass-boosting proximity effect common to most directional microphones
when used close to the sound source, is eliminated in the RE20. This is
accomplished via the application of the EV-exclusive Variable-D technology.
By controlling the effect of microphone proximity, the RE20 can be located
very close to sound sources without a loss in clarity or definition making
the RE20 ideal for tight vocals and challenging instruments. It can be used
inside bass drums, on acoustic guitars, and is found in voice booths and
broadcasting studios everywhere. |
