After taking your submissions, conferring with our industry experts and counting all of your votes, we have our first Ranked winner. Plus, just for participating in the process and casting a vote Will Russell from Eastern Shore Radio has won himself a $100 gift certificate and two free passes to Content Camp 2025 (Valued at $398). The voting came down to the wire, but the Electro-Voice RE20 has been selected as the best overall radio on-air studio mic. The RE20 is a professional cardoid dynamic microphone that’s been an industry standard for more than five decades. Originally released in 1968 it was designed by Electro-Voice using the company’s patented Variable-D technology and a large-diaphragm element. It’s known for it’s smooth, natural sound and durability. The RE20 was inducted into the TEC Awards Technology Hall of Fame in 2015. Big thanks to everyone who voted and lent their expertise. Look for another edition of our Ranked series coming soon.
