sE Electronics Vintage sE2200 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Value-packed Studio Condenser with Vintage Aesthetics
While it still delivers the award-winning sound of its predecessor, the sE Electronics Vintage Edition sE2200 invokes the aesthetics of a mid-20th-century European studio mic. The Vintage Edition sE2200 sounds pristine, thanks to discrete Class A components, with a stunning, up-front character and full feature set. This is an incredibly versatile microphone, equally at home in front of a guitar cabinet as it is over a drum kit. And if you're looking for that first truly special vocal mic, the sE2200 is an excellent choice. At Sweetwater, we know value when we hear it. The Vintage Edition sE2200 is a no-brainer addition to your mic locker.



Top-shelf sound quality from discrete Class A components
The Vintage Edition sE2200 eschews integrated circuits for carefully selected, discrete Class A components — a rarity in mics at this price point. State-of-the-art surface-mounted electronic components with extremely tight tolerances deliver expensive-sounding results for any source. With the sE2200, you can expect stunning sound quality with consistent performance and remarkably high sensitivity. It excels in just about every application we've used it for here at Sweetwater, and we're confident that it will do the same for you.






Versatile cardioid polar pattern
Featuring a custom, handcrafted 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm, the sE Electronics Vintage Edition sE2200 condenser microphone features a fixed cardioid polar pattern. When you use a close-miking technique with your sE2200, the cardioid pattern does a great job of capturing what's in front of it, while rejecting bleed from adjacent sources and ambient sound from the rest of the room. This is especially desirable for onstage use, where sound pressure levels can be quite high.




Low noise and high headroom
When it comes to capturing dynamic content, not all studio-style condenser mics are created equal. In fact, the same mic that sounds great on your amp stack may be a bit too noisy to use on an acoustic guitar, and your favorite vocal mic may not be able to handle the SPLs typically encountered by drum overheads. Not so with the Vintage Edition sE2200 condenser microphone. That's because the sE2200 is able to withstand up to 145dB (with the -20dB pad engaged), while maintaining a super-low noise floor. It's just what you need to capture highly dynamic sounds.
Extra onboard options give you even more flexibility
Talk about a studio workhorse mic! The sE Electronics Vintage Edition sE2200 was built to handle just about any sound you can imagine. Not only is it naturally able to keep up with extremely dynamic sound sources, such as vocals and brass instruments, but it gives you both an 80Hz/160Hz highpass filter and a -10dB/-20dB pre-attenuation pad to further shape its response. Whether you need to cut out low-end rumble or back off the gain to capture a screaming amp stack, the sE2200 gives you the sonic flexibility you need.
