★Clear classic sound The sE2200 is the latest version of the award-winning cardioid condenser microphone that has earned sE Electronics its reputation for smooth, refined sound, ideal for vocals, voiceovers, and a wide range of instruments. Made famous through its work with world-famous vocalists like Amy Winehouse, the sE2200 revives the spirit of classic studio microphones and is still loved around the world today. Handcrafted 1-inch true condenser capsule The sE2200 is a cardioid microphone, but it uses two vapor-deposited gold diaphragms (instead of one) to achieve the best possible acoustic characteristics. Every capsule is handcrafted and tuned in-house in our Shanghai factory by skilled technicians, just like the finest musical instruments.Unlike other microphones with backplate or electret designs, the sE2200 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule. Traditional Class A Electronic Design Carefully selected discrete components ensure excellent sound with a wide range of sources. The sE2200 is designed for superior performance without the use of ICs (integrated circuits) - low noise, consistent performance, and high sensitivity are achieved through state-of-the-art surface-mount electronic components manufactured to extremely tight tolerances. Switchable attenuation levels and low-cut filters The -10dB/-20dB switchable pad switch provides a wide dynamic range, allowing you to handle a wide range of sources including loud instruments such as heavy electric guitars, powerful brass, and heavy kick drums, as well as enabling close-mic techniques. The selectable 80Hz/160Hz low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted foot noise, and helps balance excessive proximity effect when using close microphones. Custom-designed output transformer Inspired by the soul of classic studio microphones, the sE2200's custom transformer adds depth and power to the overall sound image, while its heavily shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation. Metal construction and premium finish Unlike other cheaply constructed microphones, the sE2200's metal chassis effectively suppresses electrical interference and noise, and its solid finish adds an attractive aesthetic. And the gold-plated XLR connectors ensure a reliable connection that will last for years. Includes Isolation Pack (shock mount + pop shield) The sE2200 also comes with an Isolation Pack, a shock mount that reduces noise caused by vibration and is simple to attach and detach from the microphone body. Additionally, the exquisitely curved metal pop filter is vertically adjustable, helping to reduce plosives. specification Capsule type: 1-inch true condenser Polar pattern: cardioid Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 23.7 mV/Pa (-32.5 dBV) Maximum Sound Pressure Level: 125 / 135 / 145 dB (0 / 10 / 20 dB pad) (0.5% THD @ 1kHz) - Equivalent noise level: 12 dB(A) Dynamic Range: 113 / 123 / 133 dB (0 / 10 / 20 dB pad)・S/N ratio: 82 dB Impedance: 50 ohms or less Low-cut filter: 80/160 Hz, 6 dB/Oct (selectable) Pad: 10/20dB (selectable) Operating power: 48V phantom power (IEC 61938 compliant) - Recommended load impedance: 1kΩ or more・Current consumption: 4.2 mA Connector: XLR 3-pin Dimensions: 51mm (diameter) x 215mm (length)・Body weight: 611g Specifications are subject to change without notice.
