Electro-Voice RE420 Handheld Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone
Key Features
  • For Clear Vocal Capture in Live Sound
  • Selectable 150 Hz High-Pass Filter
  • Cardioid Condenser Capsule
  • 50 Hz to 20 kHz Frequency Response
Get clear, rich, and full-bodied vocal tone in live stage applications and studio recording with the Electro-Voice RE420 handheld cardioid condenser vocal microphone. Its cardioid condenser capsule produces a wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz while delivering a high maximum SPL of 149 dB. The cardioid polar pattern yields enhanced acoustic isolation by rejecting sounds entering from the rear of the diaphragm. A selectable 150 Hz high-pass filter allows simple and effective control of low frequencies.

Plosives and wind noise are attenuated by the integrated multi-stage pop filter, and the internal shockmount absorbs vibrations to reduce handling noise. Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output connector and phantom-powered operation, the RE420 is compatible with most mixers, audio interfaces, and mic preamps. It includes a stand clip and a gig bag.
