put up or shut up. post some audio clips. the days of "the mic is supposed to sound like crap out of the box" have been over for a long time. i used the re320 for several months using it for long segments of recording. yes i got it to work no it wasn't perfect and no i didnt enjoy it. at some point i was actually convincing myself that i liked its defects because it made it unique, LOL. God I wish I could use condensers in my environment. I like the re20 i got best. itsn ot perfect and i havent used it long enough but from the mics i do know the re320 is one of the worst ive ever used. its all jacked up all over the place. handhelds like a nd767a or e935 id use over that thing. i dont even consider it a broadcasting mic the thing is a complete mess with features that have nothing to do with broadcasting.
