sE Electronics sE2300 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Suitable for vocals, voiceovers, and instrumental applications, the sE Electronics sE2300 is a hand-crafted condenser microphone bundled together with an isolation pack. The microphone takes the same design as the sE2200 and adds a switch to change polar patterns for added versatility. You'll find the same capsule design, custom-built output transformer, and class-A circuit topologies. The dual, 1" gold-sputtered diaphragms give you cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar pattern options. Each capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in the factory. The included isolation pack features a shockmount that uses a single twist-knob for easy setup and breakdown. Also included is sE's curved metal pop filter, which efficiently slots into the shockmount and is vertically adjustable. A thread adapter and an sE logo sticker are supplied as well. Traditional Class-A Electronic Design Carefully selected, discrete components ensure professional sound quality on any source Microphone's design avoids using any ICs (integrated circuits) Low noise, consistent performance, and high sensitivity are provided by surface-mounted electronic components with extremely tight tolerances Two Switchable Attenuation Levels and Low-Cut Filters The -10 and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide variety of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments Selectable at either 80 or 160 Hz, the low-cut filter helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, and helps compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques Custom-Built Output Transformer Reviving the spirit of classic studio microphones, the sE2300’s custom transformer is designed to provide superb depth and weight to the overall sonic image, while the heavy-shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation All-Metal Housing and Premium Finish The sE2300's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of electrical interference and noise. Gold-Plated XLR Connector Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection Isolation Pack With the twist of a single knob, the shockmount attaches quickly and securely to the microphone, and is removable with the same simple motion, allowing the mic to be set up quickly and easily without superfluous adjustments or hassle The Isolation Pack also comes equipped with sE's curved metal pop filter, which efficiently slots in to the shockmount and is vertically adjustable for best performance
