Hi-
Welcome to the list!
There's some good info about this in the list archive: 
http://tinyurl.com/ks99j4

If your sound source is generating a balanced signal (as might be 
indicated by an XLR connector from a single [mono] mic) you might 
want to maintain the balanced circuit over the 200' feet and then 
convert to the unbalanced mini-plug. We'll probably need more info 
about your application, recorder, mics etc in order to provide more 
suggestions. Rob D.
