SE Electronics sE8

The sE8 – small in stature, huge in sound.
Fit for any challenges in the studio or on stage, the sE8 is a brand new high-performance handcrafted small-diaphragm condenser, fresh from the labs at sE.

Its new hand-made capsule implements a sophisticated backplate design that provides a perfectly balanced sound, so it’s never harsh or aggressive – perfect for sources like high-hats and drum overheads.

It’s also one of the quietest small-capsule mics on the planet – and with the highest dynamic range and SPL handling in its class, along with attenuation pads and low-cut filters for superb flexibility, the sE8 is ready for any sounds you’re making, whether in the studio environment or demanding on-stage applications.

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.
