Description

The sE Electronics sE8 is a Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Gold Sputtered Diaphragm. 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. 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.

Handcrafted True Condenser Capsule

Gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability. Every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory. Ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics. The Ultra-thin 3 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients. Newly-developed backplate design provides smooth, natural sound & truly consistent off-axis response. Sophisticated acoustic design with precision components.

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 and 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.

The sE8 also comes standard with a newly-designed mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand. As with all of sE's true condensers, the sE8’s gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is highly unusual for mics at this price, and is a great point of pride for us.
