WTB: Electro-voice RE-20 pair

[icemac]

Hey I'm after re-20s as a pair, so hopefully they are in same condition ageing etc

I bought mine new, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. They are still as good as ever.
As someone who likes old gear, and old EV mics particularly, I have no regrets about buying new, matching Re 20s.
Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul, do you mean there is such a thing as factory matched pairs? (I can't find that) or they match as they're both new?

[Paul Maybury]

Hi, they match because they are made by EV to very tight tolerances and are from the same batch.
They have no issues because they are/were new.
I believe very early ones had internally switchable impedance. The newer ones don't. Same great mic though.
Cheers,
Paul

Buy 3.
Kick and overheads. No other mics needed.
