sE Electronics [Fall Super Sale] [SE Limited-Quantity Promotion!] sE2300 (Tri-directional Condenser Microphone) with Isolation Pack (Shock Mount & Pop Shield) (SE Electronics) (Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Figure-8)

★Clear classic sound

The sE2300 is the latest multi-pattern version of the award-winning 2200 condenser microphone. Its smooth, refined sound has earned sE Electronics a solid reputation for its exceptional vocals, voiceovers, and versatile instrument sound.

This cardioid version made famous through its use with world-famous vocalists like Amy Winehouse, the sE2300 offers even more versatility, reviving the spirit of this classic studio microphone for the modern era.

Given the acclaim it has received, the sE2300's capsule design, custom-designed transformer, and Class A circuit topology remain faithful to the original - meaning the essence of the condenser microphone beloved by engineers everywhere is still alive and well in this model.

State-of-the-art components and a shorter, optimized signal path deliver improved noise characteristics and clarity, while new filter options, pads, and polar pattern switching increase versatility. sE's latest manufacturing techniques also enhance the refined finish, and numerous other updates have been added while retaining the classic sound of the original.

●Handcrafted 1-inch true condenser capsule Every capsule is handcrafted and tuned in our own factory in Shanghai by skilled technicians, just like the finest musical instruments. Unlike other microphones with backplate or electret designs, the sE2300 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule for maximum performance in every aspect.

Three directivity patterns to choose from: The three-position directional switch on the back of the microphone lets you choose from omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8. Control the balance between direct and ambient sound depending on the source and purpose.

Classic Class-A Electronic Design: Carefully selected discrete components ensure superior sound from a wide range of sources. The sE2300 is designed for superior performance without the use of integrated circuits (ICs) - low noise, consistent performance, and high sensitivity are achieved through state-of-the-art surface-mount electronic components manufactured to extremely tight tolerances.

Switchable attenuation level and low-cut filter
The -10dB/-20dB switchable pad switch provides a wide dynamic range, allowing you to handle a wide range of sources including loud instruments such as heavy electric guitars, powerful brass, and heavy kick drums, as well as enabling close-mic techniques.

The selectable 80Hz/160Hz low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted foot noise, and helps balance excessive proximity effect when using close microphones.

Custom-designed output transformer: Inheriting the spirit of classic studio microphones, the sE2300's custom transformer adds depth and persuasiveness to the overall sound image. The well-shielded metal housing also ensures noise-free operation.

●Metal casing and premium finish
Unlike other cheaply constructed microphones, the sE2300's metal chassis effectively suppresses electrical interference and noise, and its solid finish adds an attractive aesthetic.

And the gold-plated XLR connectors ensure a reliable connection that will last for years.

●Isolation Pack (shock mount + pop shield) included
The sE2300 also comes with an Isolation Pack, a shock mount that reduces noise caused by vibration and is simple to attach and detach from the microphone body.

Additionally, the exquisitely curved metal pop filter is vertically adjustable, helping to reduce plosives.
