I had considered that and I imagine they're pretty old , but I have 3 (from different places) and they all sound exactly the same. Exactly. They have good bottom and a smooth top. But I nearly consistently need to pull out 1k on them in places where I can I leave the re20 totally flat. The 20 (which I bought new about 12 years ago) sounds very scooped in comparison.

The re15 is so easy to place with the variable d and it manages spill so well. I know Scott's always saying "don't be afraid to use EQ" and I know he's right, and of course I use whatever is necessary, but I'm trying to get my mic choices and placements where I have to use as little as possible. I had a session in here the other day with a singer and I used the re15 on the bass, which is what got me thinking about this, so I was curious and thought to ask. Often omnis aren't the right mic because of the room or placement of other instruments, so then I usually try my variable d ev's next......
