SE electronics

With the X1R, sE Electronics delivers an outstanding passive ribbon microphone at a low price. Here, sE's own technology from the Voodoo series has been combined with traditional ribbon technology. The result is a warm sound with a slight HF boost compared to many other ribbon microphones on the market.To achieve this, a number of mechanical elements have been installed that already provide the extended high-frequency range in the Voodoo. Although the X1R does not deliver the full frequency range of the Voodoo or the highly acclaimed RNR1, it offers a very good mix of vintage and modern.It has been designed for a wide range of recording applications and is suitable for miking guitar amplifiers, woodwind and brass instruments, string instruments and drum overheads.The sE Electronics X1R is the perfect introduction to the world of ribbon microphones or a great addition to your existing microphone collection.

Microphone classic of the 21st century - now even betterThe sE Electronics sE2200 is the extended and technically improved version of the multiple award-winning sE top seller sE2200a II C.While the handmade capsule and the output transformer specially manufactured for sE remain unchanged in the new sE2200, the modern, more powerful electronics ensure the best signal fidelity, an even shorter signal path and even lower inherent noise at the highest level. sE continues to dispense with integrated circuits and instead relies on proven Class A technology with high-quality, discrete components. Modern, surface-mounted components enable true-to-the-original sound and even greater consistency and reliability than previous models. The striking design of the sE2200 and its outstanding sound have remained the same.Speech, vocals and more:The sE2200 is mainly used for voice and vocal recordings in the studio. However, it is also increasingly used for miking drums and electric guitars - even on stage. With its handcrafted large diaphragm capsule, shielded output transformer and discrete Class A circuitry, it offers superior sound, low self-noise and a balanced frequency response, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.Dual-diaphragm technology for an enhanced sound experience:The sE2200 has a fixed, cardioid polar pattern. Nevertheless, as with microphones with switchable directional characteristics, two gold-vapour-coated diaphragms are used to ensure the best possible sound quality. The high-quality capsules are manufactured exclusively by hand and individually tuned in sE's own production facility. For its large-diaphragm capsule, sE relies exclusively on true condenser technology with external polarisation.That certain something of classic studio microphones:The high-quality capsule and the carefully selected, discrete components impress with a smooth yet present sound in many applications. The use of integrated circuits (ICs) has been deliberately avoided so as not to make any compromises. The low self-noise, consistent manufacturing quality and high sensitivity are made possible by the use of high-quality, surface-mounted components with particularly tight tolerances. As is usual with classic studio microphones, a solidly shielded output transformer ensures interference-free transmission and that certain something of airiness and fullness of sound.Attenuation filter with two stages:The attenuation filter (pad) provides a high degree of flexibility and an extended dynamic range. The two stages (-10dB and -20dB) prevent clipping of the electronics and the connected microphone preamp or audio interface right at the start of the signal chain. This means that even very loud instruments such as brass instruments and snare drums can be miked without any problems, even in the near field.Two-stage LoCut filter:The integrated LoCut can be switched between two stages (80Hz and 160Hz) to attenuate unwanted rumble and footstep noises and to dampen the proximity effect caused by near-field miking.Robust metal housing and high-quality surfaces:The sophisticated design is particularly durable and effectively shields the electronics against electromagnetic interference fields.Gold-plated XLR connector for reliable transmission:The corrosion-free contacts enable loss-free and reliable transmission for many years.Scope of delivery:sE2200 microphone, isolation pack (elasticated holder plus pop shield, reduction thread), sE logo sticker, multilingual operating instructions with warranty card

sE V KICK:The V KICK is the most compact and versatile drum microphone in its class. It is designed for use with kick drums and other bass sources such as bass guitar speaker cabinets, floor toms or other large drums where the low-frequency signal components are of great importance. Thanks to the integrated swivel joint, the microphone can be positioned anywhere. The capsule delivers a sound character specially tailored to kick drums, which can be further customised using two switches on the back of the microphone. From classically warm to modern-aggressive, the V KICK produces any kick drum sound required.sE V BEAT:The V BEAT is the most compact drum microphone in its class and is designed for use with snare or tom drums. While the V7 is optimised for vocals, the V BEAT offers the same high-quality sound performance as the dynamic V7 X instrument microphone, but in a dedicated low-profile and drum-friendly form factor. Tuned for instrumental use, it can also be used on sources such as guitar speakers or brass instruments. Its special capsule provides a very detailed, extremely natural sound character on snares or toms of any size, with amazing off-axis rejection to avoid crosstalk from nearby drums and cymbals. Its ultra-compact design with parallel arrangement of XLR connector and stand mount ensures the smallest footprint in its class. Thanks to the robust swivelling mount, the angle can be adjusted very precisely so that it can be aimed at almost any part of the drum to achieve the desired sound character.sE V CLAMP:The V CLAMP is the fastest, most compact and user-friendly microphone mounting system on the market. It is compatible with any standard snare and tom microphone. It was developed as the ideal companion to the sE V BEAT for snare and tom miking, but it is also compatible with many other popular microphones. The sturdy and elasticated clamp allows it to be set up and taken down in seconds, and its durable design is made for road use. The height and angle of the microphone can be adjusted quickly and easily by releasing the V CLAMP lock. This allows perfect positioning for the desired drum sound or to minimise crosstalk from neighbouring drums.sE V7 X:The V7 X is a dynamic instrument microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. It captures your performance and connects it with the listener in an unrivalled way - both on stage and in the studio.The innovative voice coil of the specially tuned capsule and the brand new acoustic design are ideal for miking any instrument - with a perfect balance of detailed highs and ultra-powerful lows. Whether on electric guitar amps, wind instruments, bass amps, snare, toms, choirs and much more, the V7 X is the perfect tool for amplifying or recording your instruments.sE8 stereo set:The new sE8 is a high-quality small diaphragm microphone with outstanding sound characteristics. The elaborately manufactured electrode enables a very balanced and particularly natural transmission of instruments of all kinds.
