Detail 01
Dynamic element
No phantom power needed, and it tolerates high sound pressure without distress. Output is lower than a condenser, so it wants preamp gain.

Electro-VoiceRE27N/D Dynamic Cardioid Multipurpose Microphone
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dynamic cardioid microphone for broadcast, voiceover and studio use. A general-purpose mic for people who want one that handles many sources.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Voiceover and podcast recording on a boom arm
- Studio work where phantom power is not guaranteed
- Loud sources that would overload a condenser
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing high output from a weak preamp
- Buyers who want a shockmount and stand in the box
- Recordists after airy, hyped high end from a condenser
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cardioid pattern
Picks up mostly what is in front and rejects the rear, which keeps room noise and monitor bleed down.
Detail 03
Multipurpose design
Built to cover voice, instruments and amplifiers rather than being tuned for one narrow job.
Detail 04
XLR microphone, not USB
It connects to an interface or mixer with a mic preamp. It will not plug into a computer directly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cable, stand, shockmount or pop filter included
- 02A quiet preamp with plenty of gain matters more than with condensers
- 03Confirm your mount thread matches — adapters are cheap but easy to forget
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the RE27N/D need phantom power?
No. It is a dynamic microphone, so it works on any mic input. Phantom power on the channel will not harm it either.
02Is this good for podcasting?
Yes. A cardioid dynamic rejects room reflections and keyboard noise, which suits untreated rooms better than a condenser does.
03Can I plug it into my computer?
Not directly. It has an XLR output, so you need an audio interface or mixer with a microphone preamp between the mic and the computer.
04What is included?
The microphone itself. Plan on buying an XLR cable and a stand or boom arm separately, plus a shockmount if you want one.
