It is with great excitement today that Electro-Voice is announcing to you the new Electro-Voice RE20-BLACK - a new color option for the classic RE20 broadcast microphone, sporting an elegant, low-reflection dark charcoal finish.

The RE20 has continued to be a firm favorite of broadcasters, musicians, and sound engineers around the world since its introduction more than 50 years ago. The RE20-BLACK offers customers an aesthetic alternative to the iconic original finish while being acoustically, electrically, and mechanically identical.

Its popularity also extends into music production as a premium grade instrument microphone. Its Variable-D design and heavy-duty internal pop filter excel for close-in voice work, while an internal element shock-mount reduces vibration-induced noise.
