5erroneous technical information  Aug 02, 2007
The statement "Heavy-duty internal pop filter reduces proximity effects" under Product Features is categorically incorrect.

The heavy-duty internal pop filter reduces the effects of vocal plosives.

It is the Variable-D design of this microphone (a completely different design element) that reduces proximity effect.

Read the manufacturer's literature, which supports the above.

5Not Just a Broadcast Mic  Feb 06, 2007
The RE20 is a fantastic dynamic mic for music production too--particularly hip hop vocals. The vocalist can get agressive with this mic and get extrememly close without engaging a proximity effect. The RE20 will handle it well, without distortion. You do need a strong preamp for this mic. Its not ideal for your ultra cheap audio interface with limited gain. Most mixers that have preamps with 60db of gain will work well. For best results with this mic use a preamp like the FMR RNP or better. I love mine!

5The Standard  Jul 07, 2006
This is the Microphone that sits in every major studio. It does help with popping but doesn't alleviate the problem. You still need skill and good pipes regardless of what others say. You get what you pay for and this is a perfect example.

4Good mic for those that don't know how to talk into one  Feb 21, 2005
The reason these are so popular in radio, is that talk show hosts today (and their in studio guests) don't know how to talk into a microphone. But this mic doesn't care. You can have one person where the mic is pointed to the side, or pointing down at thier pants, and another person talking into it properly, and both will sound good and the same. No proximity effect on these mics, so they are idiot proof.

However, if you know how to talk into a microphone, and want one for voice-over work, the Shure SM-7 is THE best microphone on the market today. (So was the SM-5, but it is no longer manufactured) AND, the Shure is cheaper too.

However, this one does LOOK better, and it is just as widely used in radio as the SM-7, so if you really like the looks of this one, then go ahead and get it.

However, for just a few extra bucks, the RE-27 is the improved version with better frequency response, so might as well get the better one. It looks almost the same.
