sE Electronics 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. Product Highlights: Hand-made capsule & all-metal build. Balanced sound & sophisticated backplate design. Perfect for sources like high-hats and drum overheads. One of the quietest small-capsule mics on the planet. Highest dynamic range and SPL handling in its class. Integrated attenuation pads and low-cut filters. Compatible with our sE8 omni capsule. Product Features: sE8 Matched Pair. As with all of our factory-matched pairs, every mic ending up in a sE8 Stereo Pair configuration is hand-selected from hundreds of individual microphones. This ensures identical performance and the highest possible mic-to-mic consistency, so you can rest assured that your stereo image will be as clear & accurate as possible. What Comes with the Matched Pair? The sE8 Matched Pair comes complete with a precision stereo mounting bar, two protective wind screens, two mic clips, and a robust high-quality metal flight case. Handcrafted True Condenser Capsule. The sE8’s gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability for natural, balanced sound quality. Every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory with ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics. Natural Balanced Sound. An ultra-thin 3-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients and a newly-developed backplate design provides smooth, natural sound & truly consistent off-axis response. The sophisticated acoustic design with precision components avoids coloration in demanding applications. The Quietest Pencil Mic in Its Class. With zero integrated circuits, and state-of-the-art electronics, the sE8 is the quietest microphone in its class. The transformerless design ensures pristine sound quality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth. The 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. Why a Handcrafted Capsule? 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. Building and tuning a capsule is a subtle, artistic process, and given the scale of the vibrations which they must perceive, this is the most vital element of the mic. All-metal Housing with Gold-plated XLR Connector & Premium Finish. 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.
