Multipurpose mic with a reliable punch.
I have used this microphone for many applications from vocals to percussion.
I find the sound slightly brighter but with a more solid midrange than an SM57 on guitar amps which helps the sound cut through in a busy mix.
Inside a kick drum the RE20 provides plenty of attack from the beater whilst still offering a quite traditional bass drum sound, not hyped like there Audix range. Also been very successful as a rear mic for a cajon.
The proximity effect is very controlled on this mic due to the shape and design which is perfect for vocalists who either prefer to hand hold the mic when performing / recording or have poor microphone technique when singing.
No, it's not cheap but you get a very robust mic in build quality and sound!

A very versatile microphone
Over the past four years of owning this product it has become one of the essential parts of my microphone locker. It can be used on a variety of sources - on a kick drum for a vintage, natural sound, on a bass amp and on vocals (I especially prefer the RE20 on female voices). Surprisingly enough the RE20 has become my go-to microphone for guitar amps (both clean and overdriven). After trying it on amps a couple of times I fell in love with the sound I was hearing on my monitors - the amps sound powerful and nuanced without getting harsh and there is a pleasant low midrange warmth that I just can't get with more traditional amp microphones. The RE20 is my primary guitar amp microphone and the results are great, my clients love it. I took one star off from "Total" and "Quality" though because the microphone upon arrival had reversed polarity output and sounded thin on some preamps, so I had to return it for maintenance. It came back perfectly fixed up so kudos to Thomann.
