Microphone Use and Placement

Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance.

Usage

Optimal Placement

Overheads

Use two microphones in a 3:1 spacing position facing slightly away from each other.

Hi Hat

Place microphone 3-6 inches (7-15 cm) from and at a 45° angle to cymbal edges.

Acoustic Guitar

Place microphone 6-24 inches (15-60 cm) from and pointed towards body end of finger board.

Strings

For small string instruments, place microphone 1-3 feet (30-90cm) from and perpendicular to

 

the soundboard, pointing at the strings and f holes. Use similar microphone positioning for

 

larger string instruments, but 6-8 feet (1.8m - 2.5m) away.

Standard Placement & Use Guidelines

1. Always point the microphone at the desired source of sound, and away from any unwanted sources.

2.The microphone should be located close to the sound source to minimize interference from other potential sound sources.

3.Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones. Place each microphone three times farther from other microphones as from the desired sound source.

4.Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce unwanted mechanical noise.

5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.

RE200 specifications

The Electro-Voice RE200 is a powerful and versatile microphone that has found its place in various audio applications, from live performances to studio recordings. Renowned for its exceptional sound quality and robust build, this microphone is favored by musicians, audio engineers, and broadcasters alike.

One of the standout features of the RE200 is its cardioid polar pattern, which effectively minimizes background noise and feedback. This characteristic allows performers to capture their voice with clarity while reducing unwanted sounds from the sides and rear. The result is a focused audio capture that is essential in live settings where ambient noise can interfere with sound quality.

The RE200 utilizes a dynamic capsule, which provides high sensitivity and a great frequency response. This dynamic design makes it particularly resilient to high sound pressure levels, making it ideal for vocalists and instrument amplifiers. The microphone can handle loud sound sources without distortion, allowing for powerful performances that maintain audio integrity.

Another key technology incorporated into the RE200 is its built-in pop filter. This feature reduces plosive sounds caused by abrupt bursts of air during speech or singing, thus ensuring smoother and more pleasant vocal recordings. This is especially useful in recording environments where clarity is paramount.

Durability is also a significant characteristic of the Electro-Voice RE200. Constructed with high-quality materials, this microphone is designed to withstand the rigors of live performances and studio use. Its rugged design enables it to endure heavy handling and travel, making it a reliable choice for professionals on the move.

The RE200 is adaptable to various applications, thanks to its compatibility with many audio interfaces and mixers. It is equally effective for both vocals and instruments, offering flexibility for different recording and performance scenarios. Whether used in solo acts, bands, or as part of a larger audio setup, the RE200 delivers consistent performance.

In conclusion, the Electro-Voice RE200 stands out as a microphone that combines quality, durability, and versatility. With its cardioid polar pattern, dynamic capsule, built-in pop filter, and robust construction, it meets the demands of a wide range of audio applications. Musicians and audio professionals can rely on the RE200 to deliver exceptional sound quality, making it an invaluable tool in any audio setup.
