Electro-Voice RE27N/D – Broadcast announcer’s microphone

Electro-Voice RE27N/D is a high-output, neodymium dynamic cardioid broadcast microphone created for voice production, radio, podcasting and studio work. The Electro-Voice RE27N/D uses Variable-D technology to minimize proximity effect and keep low frequencies controlled, giving consistent tone whether the talent is close to or slightly off the mic.

Thanks to its neodymium magnet structure, the Electro-Voice RE27N/D delivers around 6 dB more sensitivity than classic ferrite-based dynamics, providing strong output and excellent signal-to-noise ratio with typical broadcast preamps. An ultra-flat 45 Hz–20 kHz frequency response, studio-condenser-like detail and three switchable filters let engineers shape the Electro-Voice RE27N/D for different voices, mic techniques and room acoustics.

• Neodymium dynamic capsule. High-output element in the Electro-Voice RE27N/D delivers approximately 6 dB more sensitivity than traditional dynamics for cleaner gain structure on voice.
• Variable-D proximity control. Continuously Variable-D design reduces bass build-up when working close, maintaining a natural low end for announcers and voice-over.
• Three tone-shaping filters. Switchable low-cut and mid-cut filters plus a high-frequency roll-off provide flexible control of warmth, presence and brightness at the microphone.
• Ultra-flat wide frequency response. 45 Hz–20 kHz response captures full vocal range with controlled lows, articulate mids and smooth highs suitable for speech and instruments.
• Cardioid pattern with strong rejection. Tight cardioid polar pattern offers high rear rejection for use in untreated rooms, busy control rooms and live environments.
• Integrated blast and wind filters. Internal pop and blast protection behind the grille helps control plosives and breath noise without relying solely on external screens.
• Robust steel construction. Heavy-duty metal body and humbucking coil on the Electro-Voice RE27N/D provide mechanical durability and excellent shielding against hum and RF interference.

For broadcasters and creators who want a tight, controlled vocal sound with the ruggedness of a dynamic microphone, the Electro-Voice RE27N/D offers a refined evolution of the classic RE-series voicing. Its combination of Variable-D proximity control, neodymium output and onboard EQ switching makes the Electro-Voice RE27N/D equally at home in radio studios, podcast rooms and music production setups.

As alternatives to the Electro-Voice RE27N/D, consider the Electro-Voice RE20 broadcast announcer’s microphone for the classic RE-series sound, or the Shure SM7B broadcast dynamic microphone if a slightly softer midrange character is preferred.
