High Quality Microphone Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I use the RE27 with the W2IHY equalizer and it’s the main microphone of my station. When I monitor my audio and compare it with others microphones, I can “feel” a difference between the RE27 and others, mostly regarding sharpness and audio definition (we can hear all voice details with a high quality sound). My both radios can adjust the transmitting bandwidth so is very easy to reach the good audio low and high cut frequencies that are better for my voice. I know that this microphone is “too much” for SSB and that it doesn’t worth to pay so much. But, life is too short. When tested with other friends, the reports are just great, outstanding, etc. It’s a microphone to last, built like a tank.
It’s already a classic Electro-Voice product.
