AKG ACOUSTICS RE20 Variable-D Dynamic Cardioid Microphone, Black

SKU CH-14CA-C4MXM

Industry-standard dynamic cardioid microphone with Variable-D design for consistent close-up voice capture and built-in pop filtering

  • Studio-quality sound with a dynamic element for rich, detailed broadcast audio
  • Cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis noise and feedback for cleaner recordings
  • Variable-D design minimises proximity effect for consistent bass response
  • Heavy-duty internal pop filter cuts plosive sounds during close-in voice work
  • Internal shock-mount reduces vibration-induced noise in demanding environments

Broadcast Microphone for Voice

The Electro-Voice RE20 is a dynamic cardioid microphone built for professional broadcast, podcasting and voice-over work. Its Variable-D design keeps bass response consistent when working close to the capsule, reducing boominess. A heavy-duty internal pop filter and internal shock-mount suppress plosives and vibration noise. The rugged steel case withstands daily studio and on-location use.

Suited for Spoken-Word Capture

This microphone serves broadcasters, podcasters and voice-over artists who need reliable, low-noise vocal reproduction. It also functions well as an instrument microphone in music production. Users requiring condenser-level detail, extended high-frequency response or a USB connection for direct computer recording should consider other microphone types.

Variable-D Proximity Control

The defining specification is the Variable-D acoustic network, which minimizes proximity effect so tonal balance remains steady at close working distances. This makes the RE20 the right choice when consistent voice timbre is critical and the talent cannot maintain a fixed mic position.

Questions about this item

Does the RE20 generate any self-noise or heat when left running all day?

As a passive dynamic microphone, the RE20 produces no self-noise and generates no heat during continuous operation.

What connector and phantom power does the RE20 need from my interface or mixer?

The RE20 uses a standard three-pin XLR output and requires no phantom power to operate.

Will the RE20's Variable-D design work well with an older preamp that has limited gain?

The Variable-D design keeps bass response consistent at close range, so the RE20 performs predictably even with lower-gain vintage preamps.
