Full description
Award-winning cardioid condenser microphone that put sE Electronics on the map years ago with its smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceover and numerous instrumental applications.
The microphone was made famous through the use of artists such as Amy Winehouse, which revives the spirit of the classic studio microphone and makes the microphone a standard in microphone cabinets worldwide.
Given the antiquated status of its predecessors, the sE has remained true to the original capsule design, purpose-built transformer and Class A circuit topologies, so it's still the same condenser microphone beloved by an entire generation of engineers.
Modern components and a shorter, optimized signal path provide even better noise performance and clarity, new pad and filter options increase its versatility, and the fit & finish is updated with sE's latest production techniques - but the sE2200 retains all the classic sound of the original.
Although the sE2200 is a cardiod-only microphone, two (instead of one) gold sputtered diaphragms are used to ensure the best possible acoustic performance. Built like the world's finest musical instruments, each capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory in Shanghai - and unlike other microphones with back plate or electret designs, the sE2200 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule and therefore delivers the best possible performance in all aspects.
Its carefully selected, discreet components ensure brilliant sound quality on any source. The SE2200's design still avoids the use of ICs (integrated circuits) and is built to excel - not to a standard. Low noise, consistent performance and high sensitivity are provided with advanced surface mount electronic components with extremely tight tolerances.
-10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments...think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments and heavy-footed kick drums. Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, the two low-cut filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.
Unlike the cheaply engineered bodies of some other affordable microphones, the sE2200's metal chassis effectively rejects any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures good looks for years to come.
