sE Electronics sE8 Matched Pair Omni Small diaphragm condenser microphone
For capturing a sound that is less focused and more "roomy," this microphone set offers an exceptional solution. They are perfect when you want to record not just the primary sound source, but also the natural acoustics and ambiance of the space. Thanks to their omnidirectional pattern, they capture sound evenly from all directions, resulting in an open and incredibly natural soundscape. This makes them ideal for recording orchestras, choirs, grand pianos, or as drum overheads where the goal is to capture the full kit in the context of the room.
At the heart of each microphone is a handcrafted small-diaphragm condenser capsule, designed with a sophisticated backplate for a perfectly balanced and transparent tonal response. The result is a crystal-clear and detailed sound, free from unwanted harshness. As this is a factory-matched pair, you are guaranteed the highest possible consistency between the two mics. This is crucial for creating a precise and stable stereo image where every instrument has its place.
Flexibility for Any Scenario
Even when recording very loud sources, these microphones maintain their clarity. They are equipped with switchable pre-attenuation pads (-10 dB and -20 dB) to prevent overload and distortion. To eliminate low-frequency rumble from sources like HVAC systems or footfalls, you can engage the two-position low-cut filter (80 Hz and 160 Hz). The all-metal housing and gold-plated XLR connector ensure long-term durability and a reliable signal connection for demanding daily use in the studio or on the road. The package includes everything you need to start recording, complete with a robust carrying case, a stereo bar, and windscreens.

Capsule Type: Condenser
A condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses a capacitor to pick up sound. Unlike dynamic microphones, condenser microphones require an external power supply to operate properly. This type of microphone is more sensitive to detail because its diaphragm is sensitive to very fine sound waves, making it ideal for studio recording.
Polar Pattern: Omnidirectional
The omnidirectional microphone is designed to pick up sound equally from all directions. Unlike directional microphones such as cardioid or supercardioid, the omnidirectional microphone has no directional bias, which means it is equally sensitive to sound coming from the front, side, and rear.
