This time I REALLY mean it, The Feens have FINALLY reached gear perfection…
….with my purchase of the ElectroVoice 309a custom RE-20 shock mount (get it HERE) for my big-boy mic. I love this thing. It makes this mic look like a ray gun or something a dentist would use to x-ray your mouth. It really should win a design prize somewhere…Maybe on another planet or in LibPar, but somewhere.
It also totally kicks butt at holding this giant mic, and doesn’t cover the side vents, which are important, they provide the Variable-D functionality, which is why the RE-20 is so widely directional and also has very little proximity effect. All this makes the RE-20 (with this shock mount) the best mic in the world, in my opinion for broadcasting.
(This shock mount also works for the EV RE-320, which Neema has, and the RE-27, which is what Free Talk Live has four of. Those are both great mics, and have slightly more high end and volume, giving a more “modern” sound. But I love the retro-60s charm sound of the RE-20, myself.)
