sE Electronics sE8 omni Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Stereo Pair

Incredible Stereo Pair Value!
sE Electronics handcrafts the gold-sputtered capsule for their sE8 omni small-diaphragm true condenser mic in the company's own clean room. Compared with other small-capsule condensers in its price range, the capsule on the sE8's innovative backplate design delivers a sublimely detailed, balanced sound and superior transient response. The high end is sweet and silky smooth. Go ahead and add high-frequency EQ — you won't introduce harshness or distort the transients. The sE8 omni's short, efficient signal path doesn't employ ICs or transformers, which is key to the mic's remarkably natural performance. And its omnidirectional polar pattern is ideal for orchestras, ensembles, and choirs, along with solo instruments and vocals. The sE8 omni is also one of the quietest mics we've heard here at Sweetwater.




Impressive quality and robust features
sE didn't just design a great-sounding mic — they included features not even found on small-diaphragm mics that cost much more! A highpass filter, switchable between 80Hz and 160Hz, lets you roll off unwanted mud and rumble, while 10dB and 20dB attenuation pads increase the mic's impressive usefulness by letting you mic more raucous sources like toms, snares, and electric guitar. The sE8 omni's class-leading SPL handling capability and dynamic range ensure that you will capture every nuance of these sources without fear of overload. The high-quality build is typical sE, and includes a unique diamond-cut capsule edge and gold-plated XLR connector for optimal signal integrity over many years of daily use in your studio. You'll find endless uses for a stereo pair of sE8 omni microphones — orchestras, ensembles, choirs, and much more.
