Electro-Voice RE27 Overview

The RE27N/D Broadcast Announcer Microphone with Variable-D and Neodymium Capsule from Electro-Voice is a high-performance broadcast and vocal microphone. It features a frequency response of 45 Hz to 20 kHz and can be used to capture audio for voice and instrument applications.

The RE27N/D microphone has three selectable filters: -6 dB from 250 to 100 Hz, -12 dB from 1000 to 100 Hz and -3 dB high-frequency roll-off. It is built with integral wind and blast filters to protect the capsule, and the Neodymium element design brings 6 dB more sensitivity than standard dynamic microphones.

This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

Love this mic for my voice

Rated 5 out of 5

Doing my research, I found a that a lot of people do not like the brightness of this mic, and prefer the re20. Still, I wanted to give this a try. Turns out, the tone of this mic is essentially exactly the tone I’ve always tried to create from my re20 for spoken word by adjusting eq, but right out of the box. For reference, I have a lower pitched voice that comes across as boring and dull on a warm dynamic like the re20 or sm7b. From what I read this mic isn’t for everyone, but it’s perfect for me.

one of the best microphones out there

Does this require phantom power or any sort of pre-amp? I want to use this with the Sony PCM D-100 Mic input, can this work?
Asked by: Ali
It's a dynamic mic so it does not require phantom power. You will need and adapter cable as the Sony PCM D-100 does not have XLR inputs. B&H # KOXRSM06B that is the B&H part number for the cable you will need so you can plug it into your recorder.
