sE Electronics sE4400 Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics sE4400 Condenser Microphone

Choose between four pickup patterns: cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and figure-8. Metal switches let you adapt the microphone to different sources and recording situations.

The hand-crafted 1-inch brass condenser capsule uses dual gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragms. Its smooth response recalls classic condenser microphones.

A metal body, metal switches and spring-steel grille are built for studio and touring use. The circuit uses discrete electronic components.

The microphone requires 48 V phantom power, supplied through a balanced cable with XLR connectors at both ends. Phantom power cannot pass through TRS connectors.

Main Features

• The -10 dB and -20 dB pads reduce the microphone output level, helping prevent audio-interface input overload when recording loud sources.
• 40 / 80 Hz low-cut settings reduce rumble and excessive bass during close miking. The filter can also be bypassed.
• The shock mount isolates vibrations and footfall noise transmitted through the stand. Its suspension and the flat microphone body make close placement against drums or guitar cabinets easier.
