sE Electronics sE2200 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Mic with Shockmount and Filter

The sE Electronics sE2200 is a Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Mic with Shockmount and Filter. The sE2200 is the latest version of the award-winning cardioid condenser microphone that put sE Electronics on the map many years ago with its smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceovers, and numerous instrumental applications. State-of-the-art components and a shorter, optimized signal path provide even better noise performance & clarity, new pad & filter options increase its versatility, the fit & finish has been updated with sE’s latest manufacturing techniques - but the sE2200 retains all the classic sound of the original. Although the sE2200 is a cardioid-only microphone, two gold-sputtered diaphragms are used to ensure best possible acoustic performance.

Traditional Class-A Electronic Design

Its carefully selected, discrete components ensure brilliant sound quality on any source. The sE2200’s design still avoids using any integrated circuits and is built to excel – not to a standard. Low noise, consistent performance and high sensitivity is provided by state-of-the-art surface-mounted electronic components with extremely tight tolerances.

Two Switchable Attenuation Levels & Low-Cut Filters

The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide variety of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments. Think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums.

Custom-Built Output Transformer

Reviving the spirit of classic studio microphones, the Se2200’s custom transformer provides superb depth & weight to the overall sonic image, and the massively shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation.

All-Metal Housing & Premium Finish

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other affordable microphones, the sE2200's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.

The Isolation Pack

For situations where greater rumble control and ‘plosive protection is desired, this bundle also includes sE’s Isolation Pack. With the twist of a single knob, the mount attaches quickly and securely to the microphone, and is removable with the same simple motion. This allows the mic to be set up quickly and easily - no adjustments, no hassle. The Isolation Pack also comes equipped with sE's curved metal pop filter, which efficiently slots in to the shockmount and is vertically adjustable for best performance.
