pRISCILLA I think the original question way back in August was referring to a mike for live performances. That was what the advice was based on. The mic you are referring to is a studio mic.


Hey Jim,

Did you ever see Saturday Night Live when Dan Aykroid responds to Jane Curtain during a point/counter-point discussion, "Jane, you ignorant slut!"

"Steve is correct about EV mics. Our keyboard player uses an EV. It is very bassy and dull. It loses a lot of the top end signal. Ideal for mikeing up acoustic bass, bass drums, bass bins or deep male voices. For normal vocals I would not dream of using one."

Jim, you ignorant slut! The Re-20 is used in studios and by radio DJs all over. It is used in sound reinforcement at the pro level too, which was an issue in the original post. Looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue. Now, this is Steve letting go of his end of the rope.
