Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Very decent review, but I wonder whether he may be confusing the RE20 with the RE27 N/D.
Whereas the RE20 uses a more traditional magnet in the center of the voice coils, the latter uses a neodymium magnet. That change in magnet and consequential tech choices does give it a much brighter sound that’s akin to a condenser sound. To my ear, it’s forward like the AKG C214, although much less sibilant than AKG’s offering.
Both have the variable-D technology help eliminate proximity effect. Coincidentally, that’s the technology that makes EV’s mics so easy to use. Throw in tank-like build quality and full presence sound, and its no wonder they’ve been in broadcast studios for literally decades.
