The mic is demonstrated at 1:19 where he says 'Electrovoice RE-20' on the advanced studio recording techniques video 'Microphones Comparison'.

At 5:25 Mac is showing his echo-chamber, and says that he uses a pair of Neumann KM-184 for recording in it.
At 4:30 he shows the mic and says it's a 44B but the 44Bs were black so I suppose it's a 44BX because they were finished in umber grey. They are more or less the same mics anyway.
