Angry Audio REBEL REbel Microphone Processor for Electro-Voice RE20

The REBEL is a REbel Microphone Processor for Electro-Voice RE20.

Rebel's microphone preamp is designed for top-tier recording studios, featuring ample gain, low distortion, generous headroom, and a noise figure just 1.5dB higher than the theoretical minimum. The preamp's input impedance is meticulously engineered for optimal audio performance with RE microphones, emphasizing the impact of even the smallest details.

Addressing the love-hate relationship voice artists have with noise gates, Rebel introduces the innovative Room control. Operating like a mixer, it allows easy adjustment for adding or suppressing room tone, providing a user-friendly solution to background noise challenges.

The compressor offers exceptional versatility, ranging from "natural" to "massive," always delivering a clear and silky output. With carefully crafted frequency-shaping contours, the preamp ensures impressive sound quality for RE microphones, providing just enough adjustment range to enhance the sound without compromising excellence. The de-esser effectively reduces sibilance without causing lisps.

The high-pass filter is uniquely shaped to cut rumble and table noise while preserving the voice's fine lower range. The Sparkle switch adds air to the RE20 and can be turned off for the RE320 and RE27 to control brightness. Rebel's features seem tailor-made for RE microphones, creating an ideal synergy between the preamp and the mics.
