Electro Voice RE-20 Broadcast Dynamic Mic Review / Test

Today I review one of the most popular broadcast dynamic microphones, the Electro Voice RE-20. Some people may think this thing is ugly, but it sounds pretty rad for spoken word. I found that the extended frequency response does make it more susceptible to sibilance and harshness, but it does provide added clarity.
