SE Electronics sE4400 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone, Pair

A perfect blend of classic versatility and robust durability, the sE4400 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone, available in a pair, is meticulously hand-crafted to meet the highest standards of sound recording. Encased in a roadworthy die-cast all-metal housing, this microphone is equipped with metal switches and a rugged spring steel wire mesh grille, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in both studio and touring environments.

At the heart of the sE4400 lies the hand-crafted 1" True Condenser Capsule. Each capsule is individually tuned by sE's skilled technicians, ensuring that it captures sound sources with exceptional clarity and precision. The gold-sputtered, dual-diaphragm design is ideal for recording in demanding studio settings or fast-paced live environments.

The sE4400 stands out with its practical elegance, featuring discrete electronics that prioritize essential features. It offers four polar patterns selectable via metal switches, ranging from cardioid to omnidirectional, figure-eight to hypercardioid. This versatility allows for precision-based miking techniques, effectively minimizing signal bleed from unwanted sources.

The microphone's dent-proof metal housing and premium finish further attest to its durability, promising years of reliable performance in demanding studio conditions and the rigors of touring life. The switchable pre-attenuation pad and bass-cut filter offer extended dynamic range, making it easy to compensate for loud vocals, guitars, drums, and brass instruments. The low-cut filters help tame excessive low-frequency rumble and proximity effect, allowing for efficient adjustment for close-miking techniques.

The sE4400 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone is also available as a Matched Stereo-Pair. Each pair is rigorously tested, tuned in-house, and sonically matched to ensure a virtually identical frequency response, delivering balanced, consistent sound. The package includes a metal mic case, stereo bar, two shockmounts, and two sE4400 microphones.

The custom shockmount and unique flat, round-edged chassis design allow the microphone to be centered within the shock, used flat against a drum head or guitar cab, and more. This design provides exceptional protection from low-end rumble and footfall noise. The sE4400 is recommended for a wide range of uses, including lead vocals, orchestral and string instruments, drums, overheads, electric guitar cabs, pianos, acoustic guitars, woodwinds, and brass.
