sE Electronics SE4400 (Pair) – Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The factory-matched pair of sE4400 microphones delivers professional performance for stereo recordings and live reinforcement. Each microphone features a large-diaphragm 1" Gold-sputtered True Condenser capsule, with dual gold-plated Mylar diaphragms, for a warm, smooth sound that evokes the warmth of vintage classics without sacrificing modern precision. With four switchable polar patterns (cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8), pads (-10 / -20 dB), and a low-cut filter (40 / 80 Hz), the SE4400 is suitable for vocals, strings, pianos, drums, and any source requiring a detailed stereo image.
