Great video and for those on the fence, all of this about the RE-320 is true.

For me, RE-320 is the pound for pound best plug and play dynamic mic. You plug it in, turn on the kick drum mode if you want to sound extremely present with reduced vocal mud, and just start speaking. I remember buying an SM7B and really being deflated at the sound I was getting from the mic raw and even with a DBX 286S, I was not satisfied with the sound. I purchased the SM7B twice because I felt as I improved my gear, perhaps I could make the mic sound good. Yes, the SM7B is nice, but not that nice so I ended up selling it again. I ended up going to Sam Ash and they let me try multiple mics and for my budget at the time, the RE-320 became such an obvious choice. I think for most folks, it can be a forever microphone.

One year later, I've come back to say that you were right. After trying many mics this one is right up there. The sound is excellent straight out of the box.The only issue is the size.

[ClaireMcHardy]

I think we think very alike. I also went for the 320 as my main. Was torn between this and the RE20 and the Dyna. Upgraded or side graded however you may look at it from the Procaster. I set this mic to the kick setting and I have to EQ allot less than many other mics.

Sennheiser MD 421-II has a lot to love.

[vvayaii]

Hellooo, could you please do a eq settings etc for this mic? Yupou make it sound so clear while it sound muddy when i use it

[crtune]

This series of Variable D mics from EV are also great on brass. I have been playing trombone on RE20, and the results are really very good. This could perhaps be compared to some ribbon mics, which are also really great on brass.

I love this mic for spoken word in Polish. It needs a bit of de-essing but it's able to express subtle differences between "sh-" and "zh-" (and similar) sounds.

[ChroniclesofGhoul]

Are you concerned about the foam disintegrating issue?

[itscarlosreally]

I love your reviews, man. I followed your Dynacaster series.

Would you recommend the RE320 for voiceovers if a condenser is out of the question?

[BabyAnaxo]

I’m new here, but can you please set up a video on how to set up the Pro MPA2 to an Electro voice RE20 to my pc for gaming ? I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t find anything on how to do it and i feel like it would be so useful

[LimaEchoEchoZz]

This is completely off topic but I have a question about your camera lens.

What lens are you using? I've been looking at the 35mm focal length but I understand that it's quite a close shot which is slightly putting me off.

[VIDSInsight]

So RE320 is for fidgety guys... 😆😆😆 Good one!

[damarlewis]

Just got the re320 and is wondering what shock mount are you using?

[skorpers]

Don't put up with the youtube flak for the SM7B. All it does is cause people problems that wouldn't have existed with a different mic (even the RE320).

[justyuriforever]

2:03 nah, it's just good for music and otherwise it sucks xD

[LumeousTX]

the sm7b is over rated, it’s a good mic but definitely a tad bit over rated
