SE Electronics sE8, Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Mic

SE Electronics sE8 Very low-noise cardioid SDC with 80/160Hz low cut and -10/-20dB pads. Includes mic clip and windscreen.

The sE8 - small in stature huge in sound. Fit for any challenges in the studio or on stage the sE8 is a brand new high-performance handcrafted small-diaphragm condenser fresh from the labs at sE.

Its new hand-made capsule implements a sophisticated backplate design that provides a perfectly balanced sound so it's never harsh or aggressive - perfect for sources like high-hats and drum overheads.

It's also one of the quietest small-capsule mics on the planet - and with the highest dynamic range and SPL handling in its class along with attenuation pads and low-cut filters for superb flexibility the sE8 is ready for any sounds you’re making whether in the studio environment or demanding on-stage applications.

THE QUIETEST PENCIL MIC IN ITS CLASS

• sophisticated electronic design provides extremely low noise without the use of integrated circuits
• transformerless design for excellent transparency and clarity
• proven Class-A circuitry ensures a high dynamic range without distortion and brilliant transient response

TWO SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PADS

The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for brass instruments snare drums and more.

TWO SWITCHABLE LOW-CUT FILTERS

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.

ALL-METAL HOUSING WITH GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR PREMIUM FINISH & ACCESSORIES

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some small-capsule microphones the sE8's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connector ensures a great look and a loss-free reliable signal connection for years to come.
