Electro-Voice has introduced the RE20-Black — a new color option for the classic RE20 broadcast microphone, sporting a low-reflection dark charcoal finish. The RE20 has been a favorite amongst broadcasters, musicians and sound engineers since its introduction more than 50 years ago. The RE20-Black offers customers an aesthetic alternative to the original finish, while being acoustically, electrically and mechanically identical. A key to the RE20’s enduring popularity is its Variable-D design. Variable-D minimizes proximity effect, giving users the confidence that their tone will remain full, pure and accurate while they enjoy the freedom to work naturally around the mic at varying distances.
