sE Electronics SE8 Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones - Matched Pair

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. Features 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 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 Specifications Capsule Type: Hand-Crafted Small-Diaphragm True Condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 25 mV/Pa (-32 dBV) Max SPL: 139 / 149 / 159 dBSPL (0/10/20 dB pad) (0.5% THD @ 1kHz) Equivalent noise level: 13 dB(A) Dynamic range: 126 / 136 / 146 dB (0/10/20 dB Attentuation pad) Signal to Noise Ratio: 81 dB Low-cut filter: 80 / 160 Hz, 6 dB/Oct, switchable Attenuation Pad: 10 / 20dB, switchable Powering: 48 Volts according to IEC 61938 Electrical Impedance: 110 Ohms Recommended load impedance: >1k Ohms Current consumption: 2.7 mA Connectivity: 3-pin male XLR connector Dimensions: Diameter: 23mm (0.91 in), Length 120mm (4.72 in) Weight: 141 g (4.97 oz.)
