sE Electronics T1 - Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics T1 – Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The sE Electronics T1 is the single-pupillary cardioid version of the acclaimed T2, featuring the same 1" titanium-plated brass capsule that delivers ultra-fast transient response and a warm, smooth sound. Designed for both studio and live applications, it delivers clear, detailed pickup of piano, percussion, bass amps, strings, and vocals, thanks to its cardioid polar pattern that effectively rejects off-axis signals.

Main features

• 1” Titanium-plated capsule: 33% stiffer and 300% lighter than gold for exceptional transient response.
• Polar pattern: Fixed cardioid, ideal for source isolation and high lateral rejection.
• Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz to cover the entire audible spectrum with linearity.
• Sensitivity: 25 mV/Pa (–32 dBV) for strong and dynamic signal.
• Equivalent noise: 9 dB(A) for clean and quiet pickups.
• Maximum SPL: 137 / 147 / 157 dB (0/10/20 dB pad, 0.5% THD) with no noticeable distortion.
• Filters and pads: Switchable low-cut at 40/80 Hz (–6 dB/oct) and –10/–20 dB pad for filtering rumble and handling very loud sources.
• Output impedance: 125 Ω; recommended load > 1 kΩ.
• Power supply: Phantom 48 V (IEC 61938), consumption 3 mA.
• Construction: Die-cast metal body, metal switches, steel grille and integrated shockmount.
• Included accessories: SH21 Shockmount, threaded adapter and road-ready metal case.

Product benefits

• Ultra-fast response: Capture transients with precision thanks to the titanized diaphragm.
• Versatility: Stable cardioid for vocals, strings, percussion, pianos and amplifiers.
• High SPL tolerance: Ideal for quiet and explosive sources without changing microphones.
• Road-ready robustness: Secure mounting and movement with integrated shock mount and metal housing.

Use cases

• Overheads and drum toms.
• Grand piano in recording and live performance.
• Pickup of bass and electric guitar amplifiers.
• Lead vocals and backing vocals in studio and on stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use it without a shockmount? Yes, but we recommend the SH21 for reduced vibration and handling.
• Is it multitasking? Cardioid only; if you need other patterns, opt for the T2 multi-pattern.
• Is the case hard? Yes, it offers metal protection for demanding touring and transport.
