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 instruments in live performance and sound recordings. The RE200 is designed to be used in
professional remote recordings, sound reinforcement systems, sound studios and motion picture/TV scoring stages.
The RE200's frequency response (see Figure 1) has a continuous presence rise to enhance the sound quality. The excellent transient response and smooth frequency response is gently lifted above 1,000 Hz, lending an open, transparent detail to the recorded
sound.
The RE200's transducer is a true, external
biased condenser element based on the
RE2000 transducer design. (Most studio recording microphones are true condensers
because they have greater sensitivity and stability than an electret element). The diaphragm is ultrathin, gold-laminated, environmentally stabilized and ultralow in mass. The
electrode is a precision-cut single piece, ceramic disc layered 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 for mechanical isolation. The RE200's electronics
are designed to operate from 12 Vdc to 52
Vdc phantom power.
The RE200 is small, light and rugged, making it ideal for a variety of applications without 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.
