At this facility, sE manufactures nearly everything that goes into their microphones.Today, sE Electronics is made up of specialized design, engineering and production teams, and has a global sales and marketing team across Europe and the USA.No matter what you're recording, your microphone is capturing the movement of.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.We use the best materials available, we have an amazing team of engineers and technicians, and our products cost us much more to make than the mics that come out of mass-automated factories -.It's not that we don't spend any money on advertising. The SE1A and SE3 are cardioid mics, and the SE2A has interchangeable heads for cardioid, hypercardioid, and omni operation.The new SE1A is the upgraded and slightly longer successor to the SE1 cardioid mic, and combines a diaphragm a little over half an inch in diameter with a single FET preamp driving a transformer-balanced output stage. The chassis' high quality, highly durable zinc alloy is designed to hold up under on-stage stress for years, and the spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free for perfect reliability.The beveled edge around the grille also prevents your mic from rolling when you put it down on top of your amp or the stage floor - so simple, yet so effective.Efficiently reduces unwanted wind noise and plosive pops. Finally, the slightly wider SE3 has greater bass extension than the other two mics and so may be better suited to bass instruments in addition to its other duties, but it also has a nice transparent and airy sound that works well with any sound source that needs detailed coverage.
The V7 MC1 brings the powerful sound and performance of the.The DMC7 dynamic capsule in the V7 MC2 has been custom-developed for a crisp, open sound that perfectly captures your voice in the most natural way you've ever heard on stage - and its sophisticated supercardioid capsule design helps isolate your voice from other instruments, ensuring vast amounts of gain before feedback.Proven Neodymium magnets, tight production tolerances & high-end workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity, superior sound quality and superb consistency.The V7 MC2’s road-ready design is all metal - no plastic parts here. The SE Electronics SE2A fitted with its cardioid capsule. Why? Certainly, when checked side by side, the sensitivities and noise seemed very similar. Our engineers don't just want to capture exceptional performances - they want our gear to look as beautiful and unique as it sounds, and we understand that these two things are often linked.This is why we treat the mechanical design of our products with as much respect as their sonic qualities, and we aren't afraid to defy convention in order to make a better piece of equipment.© 2020 sE Electronics International, Inc.sE is still family-owned and operated, and takes great pride in every single piece of equipment that leaves the building. The three models reviewed here all have diaphragms of a small to medium diameter, and the bodies are of the 'stick' type.

Even though you can buy better-specified and more natural-sounding mics if you're prepared to pay out a lot more money, I really don't think you'd hear the difference unless you were working in a very well-specified professional studio with top-flight mic preamps and monitors or trying to capture extremely distant or low-level sound sources.So, if you already have a large-diaphragm capacitor mic that you're happy with, would I recommend that you buy an SE1A for recording instruments? All three of these mics requires a 48V phantom-power source, and connection is via a three-pin XLR connector at the base of the mic. The maximum SPL (for 0.5 percent THD at 1kHz) is 137dB. At this point, sE began to take shape as a business.In the company's infancy, all sE microphones were produced by the same large-scale manufacturing facilities that still produce mics for dozens of brands known around the world.
