sE Electronics sE8 Omni SDC Microphone - Matched Pair  From sE

The sE8 omni - Perfect twins for perfect sound.

Featuring the very same, sophisticated capsule backplate design and true condenser technology, the sE8 omni provides an authentic and transparent sound quality second to none.

Every pair is hand-crafted and carefully selected in our own factory to ensure the best possible performance. With the lowest noise and highest SPL capability in its class, the sE8 omni is the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles and choirs but equally good for solo instruments, vocals 

HANDCRAFTED TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE

• gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability
• every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory
• ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics
• ultra-thin 3 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients
• newly-developed backplate design provides smooth, natural sound & truly consistent off-axis response
• sophisticated acoustic design with precision components
• avoids coloration in demanding applications

THE QUIETEST PENCIL MIC IN ITS CLASS

• sophisticated electronic design provides extremely low noise without the use of integrated circuits
• transformerless design for excellent transparency and clarity
• proven Class-A circuitry ensures a high dynamic range without distortion and brilliant transient response

TWO SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PADS

The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for brass instruments, snare drums, and more.

TWO SWITCHABLE LOW-CUT FILTERS

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.

ALL-METAL HOUSING WITH GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR, PREMIUM FINISH & ACCESSORIES

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some small-capsule microphones, the sE8's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connector ensures a great look and a loss-free, reliable signal connection for years to come.

The sE8 also comes standard with a newly-designed mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand.

WHY A HANDCRAFTED CAPSULE?

As with all of sE's true condensers, the sE8’s gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is highly unusual for mics at this price, and is a great point of pride for us.

Building and tuning a capsule is a subtle, artistic process, and given the scale of the vibrations which they must perceive, this is the most vital element of the mic.

sE8 Cardioid Capsule (P)

sE8 cardioid pair owners have been able to simply buy an omni capsule pair and upgrade their pencil condensers as easily as that. But now, the omni pair lifestyle has the same conveniences. With the sE8 Cardioid Capsule (P), go from omnidirectional to cardioid on the fly, in no time!

The sE8 omni Matched Pair comes complete with two windscreens to avoid wind noise and two robust mic clips with thread adapters to fit with any mic stand. Moreover, a precision stereo bar and a robust, high-quality metal case is included.

ALSO AVAILABLE

sE8 Omni Matched Pair

As with all of our factory-matched pairs, every mic ending up in a sE8 Stereo Pair configuration is hand-selected from hundreds of individual microphones.

This ensures identical performance and the highest possible mic-to-mic consistency, so you can rest assured that your stereo image will be as clear & accurate as possible.
