We are delighted now to be supplying the sE Electronics range of microphones.

You may not have heard of them - they’re from China - but before you move on, you need to know that they have been winning lots of praise in the professional audio press. They’re endorsed by many leading lights in the recording world, and they offer fantastic value for money in terms of amount of performance per pound.

Below are some of the key models, but to see the whole range visit the sE Electronics website; we can get them all.

Read reviews from the audio press and read on here!

SE1A
£85

Building on the incredibly popular sE1, the sE1a retains  the same capsule but combines this with all new, super-quiet electronics, all housed in a superbly restyled chassis.

This end-fire small diaphragm condenser microphone  really is astonishing value for money.

Great for drums, pianos, and acoustic stringed instruments  the sE1a is a must have for any size studio.

Frequency  Response: 30Hz-20KHz

Sensitivity: 10mV/Pa - 40 ± 2dB(0dB=1V/Pa 1000Hz)

Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Diversity

Impedance: ≤ 300 Ohms

Equivalent  Noise Level: 17dB(A weighted)

Max SPL for  0.5% THD@1000Hz: 137dB

Power Requirement: Phantom power 48V±4V

Connector: 3-pin

£85

SE2a
£155

This all-new microphone takes the sE1a to the next level, with 3 interchangeable capsules, which offer omni, cardioid and hypercardioid polar patterns.

Packaged with a very smart shockmount and lacquered presentation box, the sE2a is perfect for any recording application.

This small diaphragm pencil condenser microphone will blow you away with its ultra detailed sound and amazing value for money.

SE4
£189

The sE4 replaces the sE3. The mic is a remodelled sE3, designed to sound and perform exactly the same, and with very similar styling, but with one key new feature. The chassis has been re-engineered to accept 2 additional interchangeable capsules, a Hypercardioid and an Omni.

The sE4 mic comes with the Cardioid capsule as standard; the Hypercardioid and Omni-directional capsule set is available as an additional purchase, for both single and matched stereo pair sE4 mics.

The Hypercardioid and Omni capsule set

The sE4 has been renamed, despite its similarity to the sE3, to avoid confusion, the new capsule set will NOT fit the sE3 model.

The sE4 packaging has also been updated with sE4’s new black aluminium, steel reinforced, flight cases. All sE4 packages ship with full suspension shock mounts included.

USB1000a
£105

With a half inch capsule, this USB-only mic offers unprecedented recording quality in its price range due to the proprietary chip and software set, developed by sE, which deals with both noise and software drivers.

Like the professional standard USB2200a, the chip set helps with transforming the 5v power supplied via the USB cable to power the capsule, by first removing ˜noise” and undesirable spikes from the current.

This ˜noise” would normally be amplified, which is why USB mics have, until now, been largely too noisy to use in a professional environment.

This mic is also truly plug-in-and-play.

Frequency  Response: 20Hz-20KHz

Sensitivity: 12.59mV/Pa -38 ± 2dB(0dB=1V/Pa 1000Hz)

Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Diversity

Equivalent  Noise Level: 12dB(A weighted)

USB Connection via an A to B USB cable

Technical Parameters:

1. USB 2.0 USB1.x compatibile
2. At THD > -90db, SNR 96db (D/A conversion)
3. At THD > -90db, SNR 92db (A/D conversion)
4. Adaptive 44.1 to 48KHz sampling frequency

USB2200a
£210

Based on the studio standard sE2200a, the USB2200a records via USB directly to your DAW and has several features unique from competitor USB mics including, zero latency headphone monitoring, mix control playback/record path, 10dB pad, bass cut and simultaneous analogue/USB feeds.

The USB2200a also has a proprietary chip and software set which deals with capsule noise when transforming the 5v power supplied via the USB cable to power the capsule, by first removing noise and spikes from the current. This noise would normally be amplified, which is why other USB mics are too noisy to use in a professional environment.

No other USB mic on the market offers this kind of specification, and it makes a huge difference to the performance for studio use. The chip also delivers true plug in and play capability, automatically configuring the mic to the host as it is connected.

Frequency  Response: 20Hz-20KHz

Sensitivity: 14.1mV/Pa -37 ± 1.5dB

Polar Pattern: Cardioid

Impedance: ≤ 200 Ohms

Equivalent  Noise Level: 12dB(A weighted)

Max SPL for  0.5% THD@1000Hz: 130dB

Power Requirement: Phantom power 48V±4V

Connector: 3-pin

 

USB Connection via a 5-pin mini B, USB cable
