help Electro-Voice RE300 FAQ
Is the Electro-Voice RE300 a dynamic microphone for broadcasting?
The RE300 is associated with Electro-Voice’s broadcast-oriented dynamic microphone designs and uses a directional approach to limit unwanted room sound. It connects through a standard microphone signal path, so a mixer or audio interface with an XLR input is the normal setup.
How does the RE300 compare with the Electro-Voice RE20?
The RE20 is the better-known Electro-Voice broadcast reference and is widely used for radio voice work, while the RE300 is a less commonly encountered model. Both are intended for close vocal use, but you should verify the exact RE300 variant before buying because older Electro-Voice listings can be inconsistent.
Does the Electro-Voice RE300 need phantom power?
A conventional dynamic broadcast microphone does not require phantom power to generate its signal. Turn phantom power off unless the specific RE300 documentation or an inline accessory explicitly requires it.
Is the RE300 suitable for voice-over recording in an untreated room?
Its directional pickup can help reject some sound from behind the microphone, which is useful for voice-over work. It cannot remove reflections from a hard desk, wall, or ceiling, so microphone placement and basic acoustic treatment still matter.
