Good presentation. I'm building a setup to record bass, essentially for a practice tool, and for capturing parts I come up with for later reference. My interface is a UA Volt 276. I will use a DI but I'm also probably going to get an RE320 to mic my amp cab and possibly some re-amping. The difference in price between the RE20 and RE320 doesn't like a big deal to me, I'm most focused on which mic I suspect is better for the purpose. The RE320 is hotter which I suspect will work better with the UA Volt 276. It seems to have better articulation through the highs which is appealing to my ears--which are granted a bit shot... or shit. I think the highs from the 320 would complement the DI input blending them together, time aligned. It seems like between these two sibling EV mics the RE20 is the classic go-to for music recording studios. e.g. Albini/Electric Audio in Chicago and Discount Mirrors in my part L.A. both use the RE20. Nonetheless, my sense is the RE320 is a fine choice, if not the better choice for my needs.
Thanks for the comment. I agree that the RE320 may be a better option for bass guitar. I used to work in a studio that used the RE27 as the go-to microphone on a Bass Cab. The RE27 is very similar to the RE320. Best of luck with your setup!
@@Gofindnory Hey there, this microphone is an excellent option for streaming and podcasting. As for background noise, I didn't notice much background noise from my test. It's worth noting that your preamp will also play a factor in this. Because these microphones have lower output (the re320 has more output gain than the re20), you might need to crank your preamp more, which can introduce unwanted noise because you are bringing up the preamp noise floor by doing this. If you are finding that you are pegging your preamp to get a suitable level, you may want to consider adding something like a cloudlifter. Also, regarding background noise, the re320 has a cardioid pickup pattern, so there will be greater noise/sound rejection at the sides and back of the microphone. Thanks for the question, and I hope this helps!
Thanks for the advice! I was just really curious since I saw a lot of comments abt that issue. I just got the RE320 with a fethead and focusrite scarlet 2i2 3rd gen. elgato lp boom arm. Just wanted to get your thoughts if those would do the job

Any thoughts on which to use for didgeridoo amplification ?
I’m curious does the RE320 pickup to much background noise ? Secondly if so, how can you handle that.
Also Is this mic great for podcasting/streaming ?
