Electro-Voice RE320 - Variable-D Cardioid Dynamic Microphone with Dual-Voicing Switch and Humbucking Coil

The Electro-Voice RE320 is a professional cardioid dynamic microphone designed for vocals and instruments in broadcast, podcasting, studio, and live applications. It features our renowned Variable-D technology, which controls proximity effect and maintains a stable timbre even when the speaker or source moves off-axis. Its integrated humbucking coil rejects electromagnetic interference (such as hum from transformers, monitors, and lights), and the Dual-Voicing switch offers two optimized response curves: a general one for vocals/instruments and a “kick” one for kick drum and punchier bass sources. With a response of 30/45 Hz–18 kHz depending on the selected curve, a 2.5 mV/Pa output , and a 150 Ω impedance , the RE320 delivers articulate sound with clear transients without the need for phantom power.

Main features

• Variable-D : Proximity effect control and reduced off-axis coloration for stable tone in voiceover and close miking.
• Dual-Voicing Switch : Two selectable responses on the microphone itself ( general vocal/instrument and kick drum ) to adapt the capture without external EQ.
• Humbucking coil and integral pop-filter : quiet signal with excellent hum rejection and reduced pop from explosive consonants.
• N/Dym dynamic element (neodymium magnet): high output and great transient response.
• Robust construction : steel body, semi-gloss black finish, designed for intensive use.
• Standard connectivity : 3-pin XLR , 150 Ω , no power required.
• Accessories : Includes 81715 clamp ; optional WSPL-2 (windshield) and 309A (suspension) compatible accessories.

Product benefits

• Consistent broadcast/podcast voice : stable timbre if the presenter moves their head or varies the distance.
• True versatility : Switch to kick mode for defined kick and bass; return to master mode for vocals, brass, guitars, strings, or wind instruments.
• Minimal noise : Humbucking and internal filters reduce hum and pop without resorting to external accessories.
• Instant integration : wide-range dynamics, healthy output and standard XLR for any interface or console.

Use cases

• Broadcast and podcast : lead vocals, voice-overs, and voiceovers with presence and proximity control.
• Studio and live : bass drum (kick mode), bass/amps , brass, electric/acoustic guitars and percussion.
• Music production : capturing punchy sources without overloading preamps.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it need phantom power? No. It's a dynamic microphone.
• What does the Dual-Voicing switch do? It lets you choose between a general vocal/instrument curve and a kick curve designed for kick drums and punchier bass guitars.
• What accessories are recommended? For mechanical isolation on the arm/support, use the 309A suspension; for wind/plosives, use the WSPL-2 foam.
