Electro Voice RE20 Review / Test (vs. SM7b, Procaster, Ethos)
Today I re-review the Electro Voice RE20 after 5 years of use. If you are looking for a dynamic mic that does great at background noise rejection while offering a brighter top end to get more articulation and a reserved mid section, then this is great. It is another studio workhorse mic for music studios that can be used successfully on nearly every instrument and for spoken word it's amazing; assuming you don't have a very sibilant voice.

Paid Promotion Selected because I received Earthworks Ethos free of charge to review it. I was not paid, compensated, or required to include it in this video. I just thought it was interesting to include. Now I have to click that stupid paid promo button. Everything else in this video was paid for out of my own pocket.
