At its core is a hand-crafted, gold-sputtered 1\" true condenser capsule with a refined electrode design, individually tuned in sE's factory. The microphone employs a high-voltage tube circuit with a hand-selected 12AU7\/ECC82 valve optimised for driving a custom first-stage transformer housed within the mic body, followed by a fully discrete Class-A output stage in the floor box using the same custom op-amp cards found in Rupert Neve Designs' flagship 5088 mixing console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RNT's remote control unit (floor box) provides a 9-position polar pattern switch with graded steps between omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, along with a three-position gain control offering -12, 0, or +12 dB. This gain stage extends the microphone's usable dynamic range across a wide range of sources, from delicate ambience recordings to close-miking of loud instruments. A second custom output transformer in the floor box provides isolation and contributes the characteristic sonic quality associated with Rupert Neve designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-crafted gold-sputtered capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" true condenser capsule with a refined electrode design, individually tuned in sE's factory for natural sound reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-selected 12AU7\/ECC82 tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each tube is carefully selected and pre-tested in-house.
