sE Omni Directional Stereo Pair Condenser Microphones
Description
The sE Electronics sE8 Omni Matched Pair is a high-performance stereo kit featuring two handcrafted, small-diaphragm true condenser microphones engineered for demanding studio and stage recording. Meticulously selected from hundreds of individual microphones in an anechoic chamber, this pair delivers pristine, symmetrical stereo imaging with absolute consistency. Each microphone utilizes an ultra-thin, 3-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm and an ultra-precision electrode design to capture fast transients and achieve superb linearity. Perfect for recording large ensembles, acoustic instruments, choirs, and orchestras, the sE8 Omni features an all-metal chassis that eliminates electrical interference, alongside Class-A transformerless circuitry that makes it one of the quietest pencil microphones available. It comes equipped with dual-stage low-cut filters and switchable attenuation pads for extended dynamic range and versatile high-SPL handling.
