Acoustic Excellence

Make room in the mic locker for your new go-to mic. Broadening
the application zone of this classic Electro-Voice form, the
RE320 breaks new ground in the studio and live performance
microphone world.

Dynamic Versatility

Engineered for world-class performance in both studio and stage
applications, the RE320 deploys innovative patented Electro­Voice technologies to create the perfect dynamic microphone for
both voice and instruments.

• RE320’s unique “Dual Personality” switch creates two ideal

mics in one.

• Neodymium magnet creates higher output with faster transient
response and greater high-frequency detail.

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.
