Electro-Voice re200 eds User Manual

The Electro-Voice RE200 is a cardioid, true

condenser instrument microphone designed

for the exacting acoustic reproduction of

choirs, strings, percussion and brass instru-

ments in live performance and sound record-

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-

ing 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 re-

cording microphones are true condensers

because they have greater sensitivity and sta-

bility than an electret element). The dia-

phragm is ultrathin, gold-laminated, environ-

mentally stabilized and ultralow in mass. The

electrode is a precision-cut single piece, ce-

ramic 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 me-

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.

The microphone shall be an external biased,

condenser type with a frequency response

of 150 to 18,000 Hz. The microphone shall

have a cardioid pattern with a rear response

which is typically 15 dB below the front re-

sponse at 1.0 kHz. The microphone shall be

phantom powerable with a voltage of 12 V

dc to 52 V dc. The microphone shall have an

output power level of –39 dB, where 0 dB =

1 milliwatt per pascal, and output shall not

be appreciably affected by the following tem-

shall have a nominal, balance transformerless

output impedance of 200 ohms. The micro-

phone shall have a semigloss "camera" black
