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.
