sE Electronics sE8 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Cardioid

The sE Electronics sE8 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone (pencil) with a cardioid pickup pattern. The capsule is handmade and tuned in sE's own factory and features an ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm. The electronics are transformerless, Class-A, and IC-free, housed in an all-metal enclosure with gold-plated XLR contacts.

The sE8 is designed for studio and stage use, such as acoustic instruments, overheads, and close-miking brass instruments and snare drums. It features two attenuation settings and a low-cut filter at 80 or 160 Hz to reduce rumble or the proximity effect. A windscreen and a microphone clip with a threaded adapter are included.
