Descriptions and Applications
The Electro-Voice RE200 is a cardioid, true
condenser instrument microphone designed
for the exacting acoustic reproduction of
choirs, strings, percussion and brass instru-
mentsinliveperformanceandsoundrecord-
ings. The RE200 is designed to be used in
professional remote recordings, sound rein-
forcement systems, sound studios and mo-
tion picture/TV scoring stages.
The RE200's frequency response (see Fig-
ure 1) has a continuous presence rise to en-
hance the sound quality. The excellent tran-
sient response and smooth frequency re-
sponse is gently lifted above 1,000 Hz, lend-
inganopen,transparentdetailtothe recorded
sound.
The RE200's transducer is a true, external
biased condenser element based on the
RE2000 transducer design. (Most studio re-
cording microphones are true condensers
becausetheyhave greater sensitivity and sta-
bility than an electret element). The dia-
phragmis ultrathin, gold-laminated, environ-
mentallystabilized and ultralow in mass.The
electrode is a precision-cut single piece, ce-
ramicdisclayered with gold. The transducer
is biased by an internal dc-to-dc converter to
ensure that its sensitivity and performance
is not dependent on phantom voltage. The
RE200 transducer is cradled in an
AcoustiDYM™shock-mount system forme-
chanical isolation. The RE200's electronics
are designed to operate from 12 Vdc to 52
Vdc phantom power.
The RE200 is small, light and rugged, mak-
ing it ideal for a variety of applications with-
out being obstrusive.
The RE200 is supplied with the model 311
microphone stand clamp, a zippered vinyl
carrying pouch and a Wind Tech™ 5700-12
black external foam windscreen.1
