With most asking prices landing between $300 - $500, the Electro-Voice RE20 is certainly not the cheapest utility mic on the market (see the Shure SM57 for that), it is definitely worth the investment. To help manage bass response, the mic includes a high-pass filter, marketed as a bass tilt-down switch, that decreases the low frequency response below 400 Hz by 2.25 dB/octave. Situations that might throw off a lesser microphone - extremely high volume, impossibly deep bass, suffocatingly close position - do not corrupt the signal with RE20. There aren't many mics that excel at kick drums or bass cabs as well female vocals, but the RE20 does justice to both. What makes the RE20 exceptional is the clarity, flat response and transparency you get no matter what you throw at it. An internal pop filter makes this especially good for situations where vocals are delivered at close range, like voice-over work, broadcasting, or the singer that just has to get intimate with mic to sing their best. While the Electro-Voice RE20 is classified as a broadcast microphone, it succeeds in any application where the sound source is bass-heavy, high volume, close to the mic, or all three. From its humble beginnings creating a PA system for the Notre Dame football team, Electro-Voice has grown into a major player in the world of pro audio, most notably in the arena of broadcasting and PA systems.
