E200

Common name: CAD Audio E200

Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage

The E200 is a large dual diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for broadcast and recording applications. It features servoed head amplifiers and two internal rechargeable 9v batteries working alongside the 48v phantom power, acting as a reservoir system able to supply ten times the current available from the phantom powering alone. The E200 can be used up to six hours on fully charged batteries alone. Standard alkaline batteries can also be used if needed when phantom power is not available. In this case Phantom Power should not be applied at all as it will damage the microphone. It can be switched between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure of eight polar patterns. The E200 also features a selectable 20 dB attenuation pad, a 80 Hz low-cut filter and an internal pop/EMI steel filter. It is excellent for vocals and voice-overs, piano and drum overhead. The ZM-1G shock-mount is available as an option.
