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-
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.

Specifications
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-
