sE Electronics SE8 Omni Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Pair

sE Electronics SE8 Omni Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Pair 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. Recommended Use Acoustic guitar, choir, orchestral + strings, piano, woodwinds, drums, percussion, cymbals / OH. Highlights Hand-crafted capsule individually tuned in our own factory All-metal housing and gold plated XLR connector Two switchable low-cut filters Two switchable pre-attenuation pads Compatible with our sE8 cardioid and supercardioid capsule Inside the sE8 omni HAND-CRAFTED SMALL CONDENSER CAPSULE Every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in our own factory with the highest attention to detail. The ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm delivers an impressive transient response that enables capturing even the smallest of nuances. CAPTURE MULTIPLE SOURCES CLEARLY With an ultra-precision electrode, the sE8 omni is optimized for superb linearity and natural sound, ensuring a consistently smooth and balanced frequency response. TWO SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PADS The -10dB and -20dB switchable attenuation pad prevents overloading your preamp or mixer and provides extended dynamic range without compromises. Two switchable levels enable close-mic techniques for even the loudest sources like brass instruments, timpani and drums. 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 Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some small-capsule microphones, the sE8 omni’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. omni Matched Pair As with all of our factory-matched pairs, every mic ending up in an sE8 omni Stereo Pair configuration is meticulously hand-selected after strict evaluation by trained ears and the latest analysis tools, with measurements taken in our anechoic chamber to ensure the highest possible mic-to-mic consistency.You can rest assured that your stereo image will be as clear & accurate as possible. What's in the Case? 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.
