Hello Everybody,

I am thinking of picking one of these up for recording bass. Just curious
if this mic needs phantom power???

Also I could use some recommendations for a well matched preamp to use with
this mic for recording a 1x15 bass cab.

Thanks.

An RE-20 does not require phantom. And it's an excellent mic for recording
bass through a 1x15 cabinet. Any halfway decent preamp will work in this
application. The one that works 'best' will depend on your taste.

Nope, it's a dynamic.

Use whatever you have, it won't take a lot of gain to close-mike a bass amp.

It's fairly insensitive to loading as dynamics go, but it doesn't have a lot
of output. Then again, on a bass cabinet, you don't need a lot of output.
Whatever you have will be fine.

Be sure to try it on vocals too.


And things like acoustic guitar and fiddle.

I've yet to find anything this mic can't make sound great with---does that
make sense??? no b+ needed, dynamic.

Add tenor sax to the list too! Half way up the body - loads of breath,
loads of "key clack". Perfect smouldery jazz sax with not a hint of "Kenny
G"! :O)

If it matters, Kenny G doesnt play tenor (as far as I know at least).

He sounded ok on tenor when he was with the Jeff Lorber Fusion...not
great but ok - but something must have snapped in his head after that
or something - perhaps it's all that circular breathing......

Wow, Jeff Lorber. Cool flashback ;
