The sE8 is a hand-crafted small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone with a gold-sputtered capsule for live and recording applications. Engineered for balanced, transparent, nat ural sound and detailed transient response, it handles quiet sources and loud drums alike.Two switchable pre-attenuation pads (-10 / -20 dB) and selectable 80 / 160 Hz low-pass filters extend dynamic range and control low-end buildup. The all-metal chassis and gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector reject interference and ensure long-term signal reliability.Features 3-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm Handcrafted, hand-tuned capsule Precision electrode design for linear, natural response Backplate design for smooth sound and consistent off-axis response Transformerless class-A circuitry with low noise and no integrated circuits Switchable -10 / -20 dB pads for close-miking loud sources Switchable 80 / 160 Hz low-pass filters All-metal chassis for efficient rejection of electrical interference Includes mic clip with thread adapter and windscreen Specifications Capsule: Hand-crafted 1/2" true condenser Polar pattern: Cardioid Frequency range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz Sensitivity: 25 mV/Pa (-32 dBV) Max SPL: 139 / 149 / 159 dB (0 / 10 / 20 dB pad, 0.5% THD @ 1 kHz) Equivalent noise level: 13 dB(A) Dynamic range: 126 / 136 / 146 dB (0 / 10 / 20 dB pad) Signal to noise ratio: 81 dB Low-cut filter: 80 / 160 Hz, 6 dB/oct, switchable Attenuation pad: 10 / 20 dB, switchable Electrical impedance: 110 ohms Recommended load impedance: >1k ohms Connectivity: 3-pin male XLR connector Power: 48V phantom power (P48 according to IEC 61938) Current consumption: 2.7 mA Diameter: 23 mm (0.91 in.)
