RE520 Condenser supercardioid vocal
A supercardioid condenser vocal head for detail and control on a crowded stage.
Get the detail and keep the bleed out. The RE520 is a supercardioid condenser vocal head that delivers studio-capsule clarity while tightly rejecting off-axis sound from a busy stage. The signature is detailed and full (warm low end, present midrange, open top) and the supercardioid pattern cleans up the mix by rejecting nearby sources. A multi-stage pop filter handles breath, a switchable 150 Hz high-pass tames rumble. Loud stage, dense band, a lead vocal that has to cut.
