From the esteemed lineage of sE8 cardioid pencil condensers, we present the sE8 Small-Diaphragm Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone, Matched Pair. These perfect twins are meticulously handcrafted and individually tuned in our factory, ensuring unparalleled sound performance. The sE8 omni is renowned for its authentic and transparent sound quality, making it an ideal choice for recording orchestras, ensembles, choirs, solo instruments, vocals, and percussion.
The heart of the sE8 omni lies in its sophisticated capsule backplate design and true condenser technology. The ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm delivers an impressive transient response, capturing even the smallest nuances. The ultra-precision electrode optimizes the microphone for superb linearity and natural sound, ensuring a consistently smooth and balanced frequency response.
The sE8 omni stands out as the quietest pencil condenser in its class. Its sophisticated electronic design and optimized Class-A electronics provide extremely low noise without the use of integrated circuits. The transformerless design ensures excellent transparency and clarity, while the new electronic design offers an exceptional dynamic range and transient response without distortion.
The sE8 omni features two switchable pre-attenuation pads at -10dB and -20dB, preventing preamp or mixer overloading and providing extended dynamic range without compromises. These switchable levels enable close-mic techniques for even the loudest sources, such as brass instruments, timpani, and drums.
The microphone also includes two switchable low-cut filters at 80Hz or 160Hz, helping to eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise and compensate for excessive bass with close-mic techniques.
The sE8 omni's all-metal housing ensures efficient rejection of electrical interference and noise. The high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connector guarantee a reliable signal connection for years to come. The microphone comes standard with a newly-designed mic clip for secure attachment to any mic stand.
The sE8 omni Matched Pair package includes two windscreens to avoid wind noise, two robust mic clips with thread adapters, a precision stereo bar, and a high-quality metal case. The sE8 Cardioid Capsule (P) allows for easy transition from omnidirectional to cardioid, offering the same conveniences as the omni pair lifestyle.
In summary, the sE8 Small-Diaphragm Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone, Matched Pair is a testament to sE's commitment to delivering superior sound quality and performance.
