I'm still looking at those electro-voice too.

What's the draw to those?


The look and the sound. Ever hear one on the air?


....uh, yeah..... I work with them every day. The RE20 is probably the
standard BC mic if there is one. But unless you're Bing reincarnate,
none of the high-end EV's are going to improve the quality of your
audio over a condenser that costs a third of the price -- usually
less. If you want punch or pizzazz then you need processing. And not
Brian's junk, either. Software is cheapest, but you can probably find
some good used hardware if you look around.

They usually sound better with the in-radio processor turned off from what
I've heard on the air. (processor on to cut thru the pile so to speak)but
not really, they still sound better without it.

They can be fairly expensive mics..I like the look of the 664 sorta like an
old Cadillac. Sounds good too.

Cool microphones if only for the look and nothing else.
How good is good enough? We talk on mics and compare audio around here,
best way to window shop with a limited by the budget.

Wire it up and talk on it. (through caution to the wind)
