Reviews: Electro-Voice RE320 Dynamic Vocal and Instrument Microphone
Robert C. - 08/07/2020
Pros:
<p>- Durable - Easy to use - Great audio quality - Solid build quality comparable to more expensive microphones</p>
Cons:
<p>- As a dynamic mic the RE320 has low gain which is potentially an issue with cheap pre-amps/audio interfaces. - No shock mount is included, and the proprietary EV shock mount is ridiculously expensive.</p>
Comments:
<p>I bought this mic to use at home for VO jobs and to create podcasts. It&#39;s a big step up from the Blue Yeti mic I&#39;ve been using for several years. So far I am extremely happy with this mic which is on a par with the high end mic I&#39;ve used in professional studios. The one caveat that I would add is that as a dynamic mic, the gain on the mic is fairly low. When paired with a low quality pre-amp this could result in unwanted noise in post-production. I would recommend using this in conjunction with a Fethead or Cloudlifter is you are using this with a Zoom recorder or a lower end Focusrite interface. I am also a bit put off by the fact that the shock mount for this mic is non-standard and a very expensive add-on.</p>
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Richard M. - 01/13/2020
Pros:
<p>Extremely well made Exceptional sound Superb noise rejection Very close to a $4K U87 in sound when working the mic close up</p>
Cons:
<p>Stand clamp should be easier to adjust angle Should have included a shock mount</p>
Comments:
<p>It may be the lower priced broadcast EV dynamic mic when compared against the RE20 and the RE27 - but in my 30 years of pro recording and studio voice work, the built like a tank RE320 is nothing short of spectacular. It&rsquo;s clearer than the RE20 and warmer than the RE27. Tip: run the RE320 in normal voice and roll off the high end on the RE27. Then A/B them. Result: the 320 magically becomes the 27! And you&rsquo;ve saved hundreds of dollars. I will buy this mic over and over and highly recommend it to my associates. It&rsquo;s a 10+ for both broadcast and podcast work!</p>
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
