I just received an EV RE-20 which I purchased open-box for spoken word use, and I have not been able to get it to sound good to my ears. It's coming in muffled + muddy to me and just sounds disappointing. Am I imagining that/just used to my other microphones?
I have it plugged into a Beacn Studio XLR Interface. I have tested/used my interface with a Rode Podmic and a Shure MV7 - both sound great and to me - better than the RE-20. I am very novice when it comes to audio. Is this what the RE-20 is supposed to sound like, but it just doesn't fit my voice?
Any video I see of someone using this microphone just to me, sounds better than my own recording. Any help will be very appreciated, or if it sounds how it's supposed to/good to your ears, please let me know as well.
Audio Clips:
I have recorded all of these with my mouth 4 fingers away from the microphone.
