Electro-Voice RE320

The Electro-Voice RE320 is a professional-grade, large-diaphragm cardioid dynamic microphone designed specifically for broadcasting, podcasting, studio recording, and sound reinforcement. Sibling to the legendary Electro-Voice RE20, it features a distinct semi-gloss black finish and is highly praised for its crisp high-end detail and hotter output signal.

Key Features & Technology

• Variable-D Proximity Control: This proprietary technology minimizes the bass-boosting "proximity effect" when you speak very close to the microphone, ensuring a natural and consistent tone even if you move around. [1, 2]
• Dual-Voicing Switch: A unique integrated mechanical switch lets you choose between two distinct frequency curves:
• • General Purpose Curve: Optimized for voice acting, podcasting, and standard instrument recording (45 Hz – 18,000 Hz).
  • Kick Drum Curve: A specially tailored EQ curve that dips the mud and boosts the punch specifically for bass drums and certain deep voices (30 Hz – 18,000 Hz). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Noiseless Design: Features an internal humbucking coil to guard against electromagnetic interference (hum and buzz from monitors or lighting) and integrated multi-stage pop filters to curb plosives. [1, 2]
