General

The Devine SM-200 is an ultra-linear condenser microphone that allows you to make acoustic measurements. Combined with specialised software or hardware analysers, it enables you to determine the acoustic characteristics of a space, and to adjust them. The Devine SM-200 serves as an absolute zero and provides no colouring whatsoever, which means your measurement is entirely space-related.

Devine SM-200 condenser measurement microphone
Wrote the following about Devine SM-200 condenser measurement microphone
Bax Music appear to be the only supplier of this particular measurement microphone, and at a price which is considerably less than any equivalent competitor product. As such, one needs to be cautious; or, perhaps not.



The item is well-packed when received. The included frequency plot is generic - at this price point a plot specially created for each mic is unlikely - but suggests a response curve pretty flat from 25Hz to 20kHz, quite an achievement for a product at this price.



In use, it is very simple to set up. The supplied elasticated stand mount is absolutely vital; the mic body can pick up LF vibrations through the stand if it is not used.



I connected mine to a Behringer X32 and, using the mixer's own Pink Noise Generator, was able to set up my 2 x Alto Professional TS212s and 1 x Alto Professional TS215 Sub, to give an "almost" flat frequency response from about 35Hz (the lowest the Sub can produce) to about 18kHz. (This is a sound system in a nineteenth century built church, so not a perfect acoustice by any means.)



The difference in quality of music reproduction following this work has been quite astounding; most noticeably, increased clarity and definition in both HF and LF. I intend to carry out further work to further refine the sound; currently I am using the 6-band EQ built into the main outputs of the X32 to "equalise" the output signal. My current thinking is to test whether I can achieve an even flatter response by using the mixer's built-in 30-band Graphic Equaliser as an Insert on the main outputs.



All in all, quite a remarkable product at an astounding price!



Highly recommended.

Ik gebruik deze microfoon voor snelle metingen aan luidspreker(unit)s m.b.v. Arta. Geeft goede overeenkomst met een gekalibreerde microfoon, die ik ook gebruik.
Het is wel opletten met standaard microfoonklemmen: Als er een andere mic in heeft gezeten, wordt de klem snel te ruim voor deze iets dunnere, en kan die er zomaar doorheen glijden. Beter eerst de kabel eraan klikken!
Voor dit geld vind je niet snel iets beters.

Ook in het bezit van deze microfoon. Gekocht om metingen te doen. Ik heb dit gedaan i.c.m. Sonarworks reverence 3 (trial) maar de resultaten zijn niet goed te noemen. De mixen die ik normaal maak klinken overal redelijk goed maar na meting en aanpassing klinkt het nergens meer naar. Alle laag wordt weg gefilterd. Gechecked of het LP filter misschien aan stond maar dat was niet zo. Kan helaas niet zeggen of dit nu aan de microfoon ligt of ergens anders aan. Gezien de goede service van Bax music toch 4 sterren.

Prima mic voor mijn doel, namelijk als sfeer mic in een zaal.
Hij hangt aan het plafond.
Daar heb je een betaalbare rondom gevoelige mic voor nodig, en dat is deze bij uitstek.
Zoals altijd snel en correct geleverd door Bax.

De Devine SM-200 is een prima microfoon en erg goedkoop. Ik gebruik er 2 voor acoustische metingen. Wel lijkt het of de fase "verkeerd om" is vergeleken met andere condensatormicrofoons. Zoiets heeft iemand anders ook al opgemerkt. Als je combineert met andere merken zou de polariteit (punt 2 en 3 van de XLR-plug) omgewisseld moeten worden.
Verder wordt als gevoeligheid genoemd -25dB met referentie 1V/Pascal. Dat zou overeen moeten komen met 56mV/Pa, hetgeen mij onwaarschijnlijk lijkt. Dat zou de meeste pre-amps oversturen. Vergelijk met een C-410 van AKG wees uit dat de gevoeligheid ongeveer 9.5mV/Pa moet zijn (ongeveer -50dB i.p.v. -25dB). Dat is al een vrij hoge gevoeligheid voor dit type microfoon.
Prima koop.

Ik kan er weinig over zeggen, behalve hoe ik de mic gebruik en dat hij dat goed doet. Ik heb de mic ingebouwd achter een houten schot, om zo in een kamer mensen te kunnen afluisteren. Daarvoor leek omni-directioneel erg handig. En dat werkt bijzonder goed.

Je kan deze microfoon met de houder niet direct op een "standaard' microfoonstatief klemmen, daarvoor is nog zo'n adaptertje nodig van klein naar groot.

Ik vind het fijn dat er een nepleren etui bij geleverd wordt, zo houd je je mic mooi.

Tsja,

meetmicrofoon zoals voor dit budget te verwachten.
metingen in m.n. het tophoog dienen met de nodige scepsis geinterpreteerd te worden!
maar meest opvallend: polarity reversed !?!
