    I just purchased the Elecro-Voice RE20 and it sounds great! The only issue I have now is that my computer is so loud, that the mic picks up all the noise. I think I may need to switch to the Heil Pr-40, but I love this RE20.

    I agree that the RE20 picks up more noise but I still like it a tad more than my previous PR40. Frankly, I wish I had kept the PR40 as an option, rather than returning it.

    I do like it a lot! It's just my darn computer is so loud. I may try to add some sound damping to the computer to bring the db's down a bit. Of course, I'm not recording anything that's being published at the moment, so I have some time.

    I found that by repositioning my computer whereby the fans are not directly facing the wall, the noise is lower. I guess it all depends on the computers configuration. I'm considering a more quiet computer for the future, incorporating solid-state drives, etc. Of course they are considerably more expensive so time will tell.

    Anyway, welcome to the forum!

    Same here, I think I'll just go with a laptop fully next time. This thing is a beast, it's got fans, SS drive, huge graphics card (with it's own fan) and a boat load of other stuff in it. I could probably put it in my closet and still hear it. LOL.

    I'm with you on that! Frankly, after decades of owning power-towers I'm about where you're at on my next purchase. Due to my circumstances I'm home most of the time so a desktop still offers some value. Even so I think my next rig will be a MacMini SSD stuffed into a rack mount that's sound isolated and ventilated.
