Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The SE sE4100 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for studio and live recording. It uses a hand-crafted 1" gold-sputtered true condenser capsule to capture vocals, acoustic instruments and amplifiers with a warm, velvety character. The cardioid pattern focuses on the source while rejecting off-axis sound.

85 dB Signal-to-Noise and 9 dB(A) Self-Noise

An equivalent noise level of only 9 dB(A) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 85 dB give clean headroom for quiet passages and detailed overheads. The capsule handles high sound-pressure sources such as guitar cabinets and drum overheads without distortion. It runs out of pattern flexibility because it is cardioid-only, so multi-pattern sessions need a different model.

Standard 3-Pin XLR for Professional Interfaces

A standard 3-pin male XLR connector plugs directly into audio interfaces, mixing consoles or external preamps. The microphone measures 5.75 x 2.32 x 1.10" and weighs 9.88 oz, fitting common shock mounts and stands without special adapters. Phantom power is required to operate the true condenser circuit.

Questions about this item

Will the sE4100 work with my existing audio interface that has a standard XLR input?

Yes, the sE4100 uses a standard 3-pin male XLR connector, so it connects directly to any professional audio interface or mixing console with an XLR input.

How can I verify the sE4100 is performing correctly after connecting it?

With an equivalent noise level of only 9 dB(A) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 85 dB, you should hear a very low noise floor and clean signal when recording quiet sources.

Does the sE4100 come with a shock mount or cable, or do I need to buy them separately?

The supplied facts list only the microphone itself with its hand-crafted 1" gold-sputtered capsule and XLR connector; a shock mount and XLR cable are not included and must be purchased separately.
