Professional Broadcast Microphone
The Electro-Voice RE320 is a dynamic microphone built for broadcast, podcasting and studio recording. Its Variable-D design minimises proximity effect so voice tone stays consistent when the speaker moves closer or further away. The cardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound for clean capture in untreated rooms.
Thermals Noise and Power
As a passive dynamic transducer the RE320 requires no phantom power and generates no self-noise or heat. There are no active electronics to add hiss, so the signal stays quiet even with high-gain preamps. The microphone draws zero power and runs silently during long sessions.
Build Quality and Connectivity
The all-metal body with internal shock mounting resists handling noise and survives daily studio use. A standard three-pin XLR male connector provides a secure, locking connection to any professional interface or mixer. The integrated yoke mount threads onto standard microphone stands for quick positioning.

Questions about this item
How do I position the RE320 to use the Variable-D proximity control correctly?
Place the RE320 close to the source and rotate the microphone body to select the desired bass roll-off position marked on the housing; the internal Variable-D vents must remain unobstructed by hands or pop filters.
What part of the RE320 will need replacement after extended studio use?
The internal dynamic capsule assembly and the integrated swivel mount are the primary wear items; the capsule can be serviced by authorised technicians if output drops or distortion appears.
At what SPL does the RE320 dynamic element begin to compress under sustained loud sources?
The RE320 handles very high sound-pressure levels typical of kick drums and guitar cabinets without audible compression; practical limits are reached only at extreme close-miking volumes.
