What mic is this?

Hey guys, I've provided a link below to a Radiohead song on YouTube. After clicking the link, forward the video to 1:28 and you'll see the mic I'm talking about. The lead singer is singing into it and it looks really cool. Any ideas what brand and model it is?

    RE-20. Clasic. A relatively flat', a no proximity effect directional.

    Often listed as THE 'Desert Island' microphone for many producers. I have one, and it's a DEFINITE go-to tool in my arsenal.

    Yeah.. the RE20 is a great dynamic mic. Radio DJs love them for the consistent sound (no proximity effect) and with a good preamp it gives you that "voice of god" sound. Some engineers say they are the best kick drum mic ever made. Great on brass too.

    Yes,

    I use the RE20 as a favorite on kick drum, saxophone, trombone, and on varied occasions my guitar amps... as well as voice work.


    best regards,
    mike,
