SMALL DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE 'Designed in conjunction with Mr. Rupert Neve, the RNT redefines the capabilities of a small diaphragm condenser microphone.
This is the world's first pencil microphone with a high-performance, hand-wound, mass-produced transformer.
The second product of the sE/Rupert Neve collaboration, work on the RN17 began with a discussion between Rupert and Siwei Zou about the advantages and problems of small diaphragm condensers. I said: That transformer is too big. This is a small capsule microphone. Impossible.
According to Siwei, the problem with SDCs is that they have a very clear sound, the SPL is high, but the sound is very cold, not like with a large diaphragm. The quality of the transformer can make the sound much better. But that small transformer, no one can do it.
Rupert said to me: I want THIS transformer. I said: That transformer is going to be too big. This is a small capsule microphone. Impossible. He said: I want the impossible to be possible. With an audio transformer of this magnitude, the RN17 is capable of delivering astonishing clarity at ALL frequencies, not just the highs. The midrange is detailed and forward, the lows are full and accurate, and the entire microphone has a balance and spaciousness that has never been achieved before with a small capsule microphone.
