Electro-Voice RE-420 Condenser Cardioid Vocal Microphone

Stage vocals stand out with EV's handheld cardioid condenser! The RE-420 delivers impressive acoustic isolation and detailed sound with a high-pass switch.

Premium condenser element delivers a highly-detailed, rich, and full bodied sound. Cardioid polar pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation with a comfortable working range. Multi-stage pop filter minimizes breath blasts and plosives. Selectable high-pass filter reduces undesirable low frequency content when engaged. Vibration-absorbing internal shock mount minimizes handling noise.

The Electro-Voice RE420 is a premium-grade, high-performance, condenser cardioid 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 low end, natural and present midrange, and an open, crisp and detailed high end. The cardioid pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation. Maximum feedback rejection occurs when a stage monitor is positioned 180 off-axis to the element. This pattern also allows for a comfortable working range around the microphone making expressive microphone techniques easy. The multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense foam separated by air, which attenuates wind velocity caused by breath and wind blasts. The high-pass filter has two positions (see drawing).The flat position delivers the full frequency band pass of the capsule. The high-pass position attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz. The internal shock mount isolates the microphone element read more from vibration and guards against handling noise.

"Great mic!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I've been an EV mic user for years, in rock bands with the ND757 and 767 and most recently with the RE410 in countless acoustic solo/duo/trio gigs. i always loved the lift and clarity of the RE410 so when the 420 came out in bought it as an upgrade. Same vocal lift and clarity that I love with better pattern control and finish.

More than 2000 paid gigs. vocalist/guitarist
