clockwise to increase range. Caution! In- creasing the range will make the system more susceptible to outside interference! If the squelch is being adjusted, turn the

1.Insert battery. Open the hinged battery com- partment by placing your thumb or finger on the indent on the battery door and pull down. When inserting the battery, pay attention to the polarity (+/-) and insert the terminals into the battery compartment first. Close the bat- tery door by sliding the door shut.

2.Turn on the transmitter by sliding the power switch to its on position. Check the condition of the battery by looking at the LED below the power switch. The red battery light should flash once and then go out. If the LED stays on, the battery is weak and should be re- placed.

3.Prepare the audio source by attaching the lavalier microphone to the user, placing the headset on the user’s head or plugging the cable into the instrument (depending on what type of system you have). Keep the audio muted while plugging in and adjusting the microphone or source. Placement of lavalier and headset microphones will notice- ably change the sound quality, so some ex- perimentation with the user is necessary.

4.Check reception by observing that the RF carrier light is illuminated on the receiver’s front panel.

5.Turn on the audio transmission by sliding the large mute switch to the “on” position.

6.Listen carefully to the audio and be sensi- tive of overload distortion and low gain or hiss.

7.Adjust the gain if necessary. Gently insert the provided screwdriver or other 3/32-in. (2.5 mm) screwdriver into the gain adjustment lo- cated at the top edge of the battery compart- ment under the door. The door has to be opened but not swung upward to make ad- justments. Turn lightly until the screwdriver tip drops into the slot on the level control. Gently turn the control counterclockwise until the control stops (the audio output is attenuated but not “off”). Slowly turn the audio level con- trol clockwise while listening to audio; if the audio becomes distorted, turn the mic level control counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn.

8.Clip the bodypack to the user’s belt or to a pocket. The bodypack can be positioned hori- zontally or vertically by moving the belt clip attachment. Removing the belt clip attach- ment screw and moving it 90 degrees will change the orientation.

R200 specifications

The Electro-Voice R200 is a dynamic microphone renowned for its superior sound quality and versatility in various applications, including live performances, studio recordings, and broadcasting. Designed to meet the needs of both professionals and enthusiasts, the R200 seamlessly combines cutting-edge technology with robust construction.

One of the standout features of the R200 is its excellent frequency response. The microphone is engineered to capture a wide range of frequencies, ensuring that both low and high sounds are reproduced with clarity and detail. This makes it ideal for vocals and instruments, delivering a rich and balanced audio experience.

Another key characteristic of the R200 is its cardioid polar pattern. This design effectively rejects ambient noise from the sides and rear, allowing for isolated sound capture. This is particularly beneficial in live settings where stage noise can interfere with vocal clarity. The cardioid pattern also helps to minimize feedback, giving performers and sound engineers greater control over the mix.

In terms of construction, the R200 is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use. Its durable metal chassis and protective grille make it resilient against drops and impacts. This rugged build quality ensures that the microphone can endure the demands of touring and regular gigging, making it a reliable choice for musicians and speakers alike.

The R200 also features a high-output neodymium dynamic element that enhances its sensitivity and overall performance. This technology allows the microphone to capture sound with remarkable accuracy while maintaining low noise levels. The result is a cleaner, more articulate sound that stands out in any mix.

Additionally, the R200 comes with a built-in pop filter that reduces plosive sounds, ensuring clear vocal articulation. This feature is particularly useful for studio applications where clarity is paramount. The microphone’s versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with various audio interfaces and mixers, allowing it to be integrated easily into any audio setup.

In conclusion, the Electro-Voice R200 is a top-tier microphone designed for those who demand quality and reliability. With its exceptional sound characteristics, durable build, and advanced technologies, it is a valuable asset for any audio professional or enthusiast. Whether in the studio or on stage, the R200 ensures clear and powerful sound reproduction, making it a standout choice in the dynamic microphone market.
