Product Description:

The RE320 is a professional quality dynamic microphone designed specically for recording and sound reinforcement applications requiring

extremely low noise and the highest level of predictable tonal and transient response. Ideal for capturing vocal and instrument sources, the RE320 delivers unparalleled detail, dynamic content, and natural tone.

Variable D® is Electro-Voice’s exclusive solution to the tonal changes associated with the proximity effect found in other directional microphones. Providing balanced and uniform frequency response up to 180° off-axis, the result is always

stable and linear tonal performance — even when the sound source is moving around the mic. Ideal for capturing the critical details of voice, ampliﬁed, and acoustic

instruments, Variable-D® capsules deliver impeccably smooth and natural tone on

virtually any sound source.

Utilizing the same humbucking coil technology found in the RE20 and RE27N/D to arrest electro magnetic eld interference introduced by sources close “to the microphone”, the RE320 produces an ultra-quiet signal path free from the hum and

buzz found in other dynamic microphones.

The RE320 incorporates a two-position “Dual Personality” frequency response switch

which allows engagement of two vastly different performance curves.

Selecting the left-hand switch position

engages a curve speciﬁcally designed for use on kick drums. With dips and peaks exactly where kick drums need a little EQ attention, the result is an

incredibly tight “insta-kick” sound requiring little-if-

any additional EQ when the microphone is properly positioned at the drum.

Selecting the right-hand switch position engages a linear curve which is ideal for voice (music and speech), as well as instruments (such as guitar amps, bass amps, low toms, percussion, brass and wind instruments, etc.). The response is smooth, natural, and articulate, with a minimum of discolored off-axis bleed from surrounding sound sources.
