sE Electronics sE8 Omni Matched Capsule Pair

sE Electronics sE8 Omni Matched Capsule Pair

This factory-matched pair of omnidirectional capsules fits sE Electronics sE8 microphone bodies. It adds an alternative pickup pattern to an existing sE8 pair.

Pairs are selected from hundreds of individual capsules by comparing frequency response and sensitivity. Closely correlated responses and virtually identical sensitivity help preserve accurate source positions in a stereo recording.

Every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned. An ultrathin gold-sputtered diaphragm follows fast transients, while the precision electrode is optimised for linearity and a smooth, balanced frequency response.

The near-spherical polar response captures an open sound and the surrounding space. Changing capsules retains the two low-cut filters and two attenuation pads built into the sE8 microphone body; these controls are not on the capsule.

Main Features

• Factory matching selects a pair with closely aligned frequency responses and virtually identical sensitivity.
• Omnidirectional pickup captures both the instrument and the acoustics around it.
• The gold-sputtered diaphragm and precision electrode preserve fine detail and transient response.
• Unscrew the old capsule counterclockwise, then attach the replacement clockwise. Do not overtighten.
• Both filters and both pad settings on an existing sE8 body remain available.
