SE Electronic sE4

SE Electronic sE4

Small Diaphragm Microphone with Interchangeable Capsule

The SE Electronics SE4 is a cardioid “pencil” style microphone designed to capture instruments and vocals in sound reinforcement and recording applications. The condenser capsule features Class-A FET electronics that deliver transparent audio signal with a low noise floor. The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing noise and unwanted audio signal at the off-axis sections of the microphone.

The sE4 replaces the sE3. The mic is a remodelled sE3, designed to sound and perform exactly the same, and with very similar styling, but with one key new feature. The chassis has been re-engineered to accept 2 additional interchangeable capsules, a Hypercardioid and an Omni.

The sE4 mic comes with the Cardioid capsule as standard. The Hypercardioid and Omni capsule set, is available as an additional purchase, for both single and matched stereo pair sE4 mics.

The sE4 has been renamed, despite its similarity to the sE3, to avoid confusion, the new capsule set will NOT fit the sE3 model.

Features

• Matched Pair Both microphones are closely matched for excellent stereo recording quality
• Cardioid Polar Pattern is effective in minimizing noise and audio at the off-axis (sides) of the capsule
• Optional Interchangeable Capsules. The SE4 ships with a cardioid capsule but optional hypercardioid and omnidirectional capsules are available
• Class-A FET Electronics. The Class-A FET output stage delivers pristine, transparent audio signal with minimal noise
• Low Frequency Roll-Off minimizes noise and proximity effect
• -10dB Pad provides the necessary headroom needed to capture loud signals without distortion
