AKG 200E
Not much is documented about the AKG 200E itself. The archive holds no confirmed identity, specifications or dates for this model. The period record that does survive concerns a closely named model, the AKG D-200E. Whether that was the same product, a variant or a different designation, no source in hand confirms.
Here is what the archive does show. Audio (December 1967, p.85) listed the D-200E as a two-way cardioid dynamic microphone, frequency range 30 Hz to 15 kHz ±3 dB, sensitivity −55 dB (re 1 mW/10 dynes/cm²), 200-ohm impedance, and 8 oz. weight. AKG's own advertising of the period, seen in High Fidelity (August 1967, p.44), called the D-200E a "two microphones in one" system. It used two independent capsules, one for lows and one for highs, likened to a two-way loudspeaker. No production years, original price or further documentation for either designation have surfaced.

- Type: two-way cardioid dynamic microphone

- Sensitivity: −55 dB (re 1 mW/10 dynes/cm²)
