glennberk Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hello, Soundies (cross-posting to a couple of discussions) -- A project I'm prepping has a scene with Rush Limbaugh (or, a reasonable facsimile), and I'm hoping to find a good-sounding, good-looking version of his microphone - the legendary GOLD ElectroVoice RE-20. I hope there's one out there that I might rent - please tell me ! Thanks -- Glenn Berkovitz glennb@pobox.com (Hollywood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess in Seattle you've got the moss-covered version . . . Fond regards ! Thanks for good thoughts, mates ! My 'rush' to create a gold RE-20 has slowed, with a production pause for a week. Props has a non-working mic that they're applying their Midas touch to; after that, I hope to insert the best possible mic element (SM57, Schoeps, ECM-50 ?) into the heart of the beast. I'll post updates -- (This past week, I spoke with 16 audio rental or prop rental companies - no suitable golden RE-20 to be had. A couple of promising leads, but nothing materialized. I'm surprised there isn't one out in the world already . . .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
