Also, it's just so damn cool looking.
I am currently powered by an M-Audio Ultra Track preamp...which as a 45db gain on it. Many say the RE20 will need a really high boost. I'm not going to agree. With the preamp I'm using, the pot is turned up a little passed the half way mark, leaving plenty of head room. As you can see, its construction is also worthy of the title "workhorse". I hate the default mic holder, though...so wimpy and non adjustable. While the fancy upgrade does look a lot nicer and is more secure, you CAN find the right angle to place the mic w/o it falling over. This kinda depends on you needs for mic placement. If you need the mic to be parallel to the ground...get the upgrade. If you can work with the mic at a 45 degree angle, pointing upward..the stand holder will work.
As for the price...GREATNESS!...Some of the other sites are asking for $700-$800. Craziness. Thank you AMAZON.com

Needed to buy FetHead for my Motu M4 though, as otherwise I needed to pull gain on max and it still was a bit silent

Reviewed in Mexico on January 23, 2023
Nach allem was so an Bewertungen im Internet zu finden ist, möchte ich nicht auch noch zu viel schreiben. Reicht vielleicht zu erwähnen, dass ich länger gezögert hatte wegen des in Deutschland doch recht hohen Preises, immerhin fast 200 Euro über dem üblichen Dollar Preis.
Aber an all diejenigen, denen es ebenso geht und immer wieder hin und her überlegt wird: es war für mich die richtige Entscheidung, lohnt sich alle mal und über die Jahre bzw. Jahrzehnte (!) wird der höhere Preis durch die überragende Tonqualität und Einsatzmöglichkeiten bald in Vergessenheit geraten sein! Perfekt dazu übrigens die Rycote Universal Mikrofonspinne
Sadly needs a boatload of gain. Highly recommend an in-line XLR preamp like a SubZero SZ-MB1 (amazing value) or a Cloudlifter.
I regret not being the official shock mount and I'll probably order one soon.
