The sE Electronics sE2300 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional studio recording applications. The sE2300 features a custom-designed, handcrafted, 1-inch true condenser capsule. This large-diaphragm capsule captures sound with precision and detail, making it suitable for a wide range of recording scenarios, including vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion. The microphone has a cardioid polar pattern, which provides focused sound pickup from the front of the microphone while rejecting off-axis sound from the sides and rear. This directional characteristic helps to isolate the desired sound source and minimize room ambiance and background noise. The sE2300 utilizes high-quality electronic components to ensure transparent and accurate audio reproduction. Its low-noise circuitry and wide dynamic range capture subtle nuances and transient details with exceptional clarity and fidelity. The microphone features a switchable attenuation pad (-10dB or -20dB), allowing users to reduce the microphone's sensitivity to handle high sound pressure levels (SPLs) without distortion. This feature makes the sE2300 suitable for recording loud sound sources such as drums, guitar amplifiers, and brass instruments. The sE2300 includes a switchable low-cut filter (80Hz or 160Hz), which helps to reduce low-frequency rumble and proximity effect without affecting the microphone's overall frequency response. This feature is useful for minimizing unwanted low-frequency noise and improving clarity in recordings. The microphone features a transformer-coupled output circuit, which adds character and warmth to the audio signal. This classic transformer design imparts a rich and musical sound quality reminiscent of vintage microphones, enhancing the overall sonic character of recordings. The sE2300 is built with a rugged metal chassis and robust construction, ensuring durability and reliability in professional studio environments. Its solid build quality protects the internal components and ensures consistent performance over time. The microphone comes with a dedicated shock mount and pop filter, providing isolation from vibrations and minimizing plosive sounds (such as "p" and "b" sounds) during vocal recording. These accessories ensure clean and professional recordings without the need for additional equipment.
