Taking cues from the company's popular RE20, the RE27N/D is a brighter-sounding alternative with its own charm and personality. Crisp and detailed, it's a high-output unidirectional mic. Use it to capture airy vocals, snappy drums, loud guitars, or more without worrying about bleed from other nearby instruments. Like the RE20, it started its life as a broadcaster's mic, but is equally at home in music-recording studios or podcast dens.
