sE Electronics sE4100 Condenser Microphone Pair

sE Electronics sE4100 Condenser Microphone Pair

Two microphones are factory-matched for a virtually identical frequency response and a consistent stereo image. Both use a fixed cardioid pickup pattern.

The hand-crafted 1-inch brass condenser capsule and gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm share their design heritage with the sE4400. The manufacturer describes the sound as warm and smooth.

The metal body, metal switches and spring-steel grille are built for studio and touring use. A flat housing fits easily into the space around an instrument.

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.
• 80 / 160 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.
