Product Features:

sE8 Matched Pair

As with all of our factory-matched pairs, every mic ending up in a sE8 Stereo Pair configuration is hand-selected from hundreds of individual microphones. This ensures identical performance and the highest possible mic-to-mic consistency, so you can rest assured that your stereo image will be as clear & accurate as possible.

What Comes with the Matched Pair?

The sE8 Matched Pair comes complete with a precision stereo mounting bar, two protective wind screens, two mic clips, and a robust high-quality metal flight case.

Handcrafted True Condenser Capsule

The sE8’s gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability for natural, balanced sound quality. Every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory with ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics.

Natural Balanced Sound

An ultra-thin 3-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients and a newly-developed backplate design provides smooth, natural sound & truly consistent off-axis response. The sophisticated acoustic design with precision components avoids coloration in demanding applications.

The Quietest Pencil Mic in Its Class

With zero integrated circuits, and state-of-the-art electronics, the sE8 is the quietest microphone in its class. The transformerless design ensures pristine sound quality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth. The proven Class-A circuitry ensures a high dynamic range without distortion and brilliant transient response.

Two Switchable Pre-attenuation Pads

The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for brass instruments, snare drums, and more.

Two Switchable Low-cut Filters

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.
