She’s A Beauty.
She’s a one in a million girl.
I know friends who feel like I do about these microphones. The RE-20. Broadcast standard in radio studios coast to coast for decades.
I bought her in 2003 when I launched my home studio. No exceptions, that would be the mic I chose.
I’ve used different interfaces, different software, different desks, rooms and sometimes, no room at all — just her, lugged around with luggage getting swabbed by TSA as I stood barefoot in the airport.
She saw coffee shop bathrooms and she lived in storage facilities. She was there when I was homeless but still had a voice. She’s been in high tech studios and she’s been propped up on a kitchen table. She’s been there, reporting on front lines and giving non-profits zero profit voice overs.
For so many years, through many seasons of life I’ve known.
My RE-20 has been with me for all of it.
She has never worked as hard as she is working right now.
Delivering content to markets coast to coast. Local, daily, real time content as fast as we can turn it around.
Not always elaborate in the set up — but she’s an RE-20… she compensates for that.
And she is now, without reservation, always plugged in. And on.
