Overview
Classic sound meets modern craftsmanship; we are proud to re-introduce the improved sE4400, multi-pattern large-diaphragm true-condenser microphone! Hand-crafted with the highest attention to detail, built with a roadworthy die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches, and rugged spring steel wire mesh grille that can take a beating during day-to-day tour life. The sE4400 appeals with its down-to-earth elegance, offering discrete electronics prioritizing the features you really need. The sE4400 brings sought-after classic sound back to mic lockers worldwide. The sE4400's metal switches let you select between 4 polar patterns; from cardioid to omnidirectional or figure-eight to hypercardioid. Whereas the switchable attenuation pads and low-cut filters compensate for loud vocals, guitars, drums, and brass instruments - and easily tame excessive low-frequency rumble or proximity effect. The sE4400 comes with a hand-crafted, gold-sputtered, dual-diaphragm capsule to capture sound sources of all kinds with breathtaking clarity and precision, be it in demanding studio or fast-paced live environments. Select between 4 polar patterns with metal switches, from cardioid to omnidirectional or figure-eight to hypercardioid, with a gold-sputtered, dual-diaphragm capsule for precision-based miking techniques to minimize signal bleed from unwanted sources in demanding studio or fast-paced live environments. Individually tuned and cared for by sE’s skilled technicians, each sE4400’s hand-crafted, gold-sputtered, dual-diaphragm capsule captures sound sources of all kinds with breathtaking clarity and precision, be it in demanding studio or fast-paced live environments. Select between two pre-attenuation pads for an extended dynamic range and compensate for loud vocals, guitars, drums, and brass instruments. Easily tame excessive low-frequency rumble and proximity effect with two low-cut filters and efficiently adjust for close-miking techniques.
