sE Electronics SE4100 (Pair) - Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The sE Electronics SE4100 microphone pair is a factory-matched large-diaphragm condenser microphone set designed to deliver high-quality studio and live recordings . Each microphone incorporates a hand-crafted, gold-plated 1” diaphragm capsule that delivers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with an extremely clean loop pattern and a self-noise level of only 9 dB(A) . A cardioid polar pattern provides pinpoint focus on the sound source, minimizing unwanted leakage and reverberations. Featuring a switchable low-cut filter (40 Hz / 80 Hz), a pad (–10 dB / –20 dB), and 48 V phantom power, the SE4100 is the ideal choice for vocals, acoustic guitars, piano, drum overheads, and all types of instrumentation in demanding recording environments.

Main features

• 1” true condenser capsule: Gold-plated mylar diaphragm, handcrafted.
