sE Electronics sE 2200

The sE2200 is the latest version of the award-winning cardioid condenser microphone that put sE Electronics on the map many years ago with its smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceovers, and numerous instrumental applications. Made famous through use with world-class vocal artists like Amy Winehouse, it revives the spirit of classic studio microphones, and still remains a standard in mic lockers around the world.

Handcrafted 1 Truce Condenser Capsule

Although the sE2200 is a cardioid-only microphone, two (instead of one) gold-sputtered diaphragms are used to ensure best possible acoustic performance.

Built like the worlds finest musical instruments, every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in our very own factory in Shanghai and unlike other microphones with back plate or electret designs, the sE2200 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule, and therefore delivers the best possible performance in every aspect.

TraditionalClass-A Electronic Design

Itscarefully selected, discrete componentsensure brilliant sound quality on any source. The sE2200s design still avoids using any ICs (integrated circuits) and is built to excel not to a standard.Low noise, consistent performance and high sensitivityis provided by state-of-the-art surface-mounted electronic components with extremely tight tolerances.

Two Switchable Attenuation Levels & Low-Cut Filters

The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provideextended dynamic range, enabling a wide variety of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instrumentsthink super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums. Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, the twolow-cut filtershelp eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.

Custom-Built Output Transformer

Reviving the spirit of classic studio microphones, the sE2200s custom transformer providessuperb depth & weight to the overall sonic image, and the massively shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation.
