About SE Electronics VR1

Under the meticulous craftsmanship of SE Electronics, the VR1 Voodoo Passive Ribbon Microphone emerges as a high-quality, professional-grade audio recording tool, boasting an innovative design that sets a new benchmark in ribbon microphone technology. The VR1 is engineered to capture the intricate details of acoustic instruments and the dynamic punch of guitar cabinets, delivering a sound that is both open and natural.

Crafted with a durable, hand-tensioned ribbon meticulously assembled by specialized technicians in SE's dedicated capsule room, the VR1 ensures a level of performance that is both reliable and versatile. Its bidirectional figure-8 polar pattern excels in picking up sound sources from both the front and back, offering a wide range of recording possibilities and making it a go-to microphone for various studio applications.

The VR1 Voodoo Passive Ribbon Microphone stands out with its ability to provide a full frequency response across 20Hz-20kHz, a feat that, until the advent of the VR Series, was solely the domain of the Rupert Neve collaboration RNR1. This exceptional range is achieved through the use of state-of-the-art custom transformers and a unique mechanical device designed by SE Electronics' CEO, Siwei Zou.

The VR1 not only excels in technical prowess but also features a distinctive look that has quickly become a favorite in the industry. Its innovative design and superior sound reproduction capabilities have made the VR1 Voodoo Passive Ribbon Microphone a "secret weapon" for top musicians and engineers around the globe, solidifying its place as a staple in professional recording environments.
