Aimed at studio, podcast and live performance applications, key features of the mic include E-V’s Variable-D proximity control technology; a humbucking coil for noiseless operation; and a high-output neodymium magnet structure capsule.
Completing the feature set is the “dual personality” switch – one setting engages a response curve for voice and most instrument micing, while the other activates a response curve designed for kick drums.
‘We’ve known for many years that the RE20 is sought-after for miking kick drums, despite its broadcast vocal original purpose,’ says Electro-Voice’s Rick Belt. ‘Adding the kick drum curve switch position as a key RE320 feature reinforces its usefulness as a specialty instrument mic, in addition to its outstanding performance on voice and low-mid to upper-register instruments in the alternate switch position.’
The RE320 joins the RE200 small-diaphragm condenser, RE410 and RE510 handheld condenser vocal mics, and RE920 clip-on condenser in the RE line-up.
