The Electro Voice RE420 is a high-quality, high-performance cardioid condenser vocal microphone. Designed to reveal the exceptional detail and vivid clarity synonymous with condenser elements, it skillfully delivers the lyrical finesse required for expressive vocal performances. The sonic signature is rich, detailed and full-bodied, with a warm and clear bass range, a natural and present midrange and an open, crisp and detailed high end.
The RE420 features a cardioid polar pattern with a frequency response of 50 Hz - 20 kHz and offers excellent acoustic isolation. Maximum feedback rejection occurs when a stepped monitor is positioned 180° away from the element. This pattern also allows for a comfortable working area around the microphone, facilitating expressive microphone techniques.
The multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense, air-separated foam that dampens the wind speed caused by breath and gusts of wind. The high-pass filter has two positions: the flat position provides the full frequency bandpass of the capsule. The high-pass position attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz.
The internal shock mount isolates the microphone element from vibrations and protects against handling noise.
