I have an RE20. Love it on sax but in a live situation, yes I'd use the HPF. Unless it's a bari sax or Bass Clarinet, is there anything close to the freq that is being rolled off? Yes you can use the HPF on the strip but why put any extra junk into the front end (I'd probably have both engaged). This could allow you an extra db or two front end gain (better S/N in the end). You shouldn't loose any warmth as below 80 hz is more like plosive booms and bleed from the bass & kick.

In the live arena I use HPF on just about everything other than Kick, Bass, Some keys and other bass register instruments (if the console offers variable freq HPF I'll even use it on these instruments but way down at 30 - 40 hz). It really cleans up your mix (better depth & distinction without the mud).

FWIW they weigh a ton and are huge (as I'm sure you know). Use a heavy weigh stand & boom and secure it well.

Just my .02 worth

Love the RE20 on 'bones and the bigger saxes. What I intensely dislike is the stupid high price of the clips, which are quite fragile for such an elephant of a mic.

No kidding. And the cheap rubberized clips that will fit it won't hold the weight properly.

I just bit the bullet and paid the cost of an Audix mic for a replacement clip, but I love my RE/PL-20s
Not to derail the thread, but one of them does rattle slightly.  I've never heard it in isolated tracks, but does anyone recommend a repair person, or self-repair method?

As the RE-20 is current production I think EV will repair/rebuild them.  EV used to do that service in Lincoln, NE but may have moved it to Minnesota.  Call EV.
