sE Electronics sE2200 – Studio Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic

The sE2200 is built for singers, session vocalists, and recording engineers who want a polished, detailed condenser mic that handles both delicate and loud sources with grace. With its handcrafted capsule, switchable filters and pads, and robust build, it’s ideal for studio use.

Key Features

• Hand-crafted 1-inch true condenser capsule: Smooth, consistent sound with rich detail and clarity.
• Gold-sputtered dual diaphragm design: Enhances sensitivity and improves sonic depth in vocals, acoustic instruments, and more.
• Switchable attenuation pads (-10 / -20 dB): Lets you capture loud sound sources without distortion by reducing signal level.
• Low-cut filters at 80 / 160 Hz (6 dB/octave): Removes rumble, proximity effect, or low-end boom when close-miking.
• All-metal housing & gold-plated XLR connector: Durable, reliable build that handles stage or studio abuse with minimal noise interference.
• High SPL capability up to 145 dB (with pad): Handles very loud sources like kick drums, guitar cabs, brass without clipping or distortion.

Customer Benefits

The filters and pads give flexibility to control noise and dynamics, while the solid build ensures performance is consistent session after session. Sound-quality doesn’t suffer when you push the mic hard.
