<h1>SE Electronics sE2200 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone</h1><i>Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Shockmount and Filter</i><br /><br />The SE Electronics sE2200 is a large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone delivering smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceovers, and numerous instrumental applications. State-of-the-art components and a shorter, optimized signal path provide even better noise performance & clarity, new pad & filter options increase its versatility, and the fit & finish has been updated with sE’s latest manufacturing techniques - but the sE2200 retains all the classic sound of the original.
<br /><br />
<h3>Handcrafted 1" True Condenser Capsule</h3>
Although the sE2200 is a cardioid-only microphone, two (instead of one) gold-sputtered diaphragms are used to ensure best possible acoustic performance.
<br /><br />
Built like the world’s finest musical instruments, every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in SE's very own factory - and unlike other microphones with backplate or electret designs, the sE2200 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule, and therefore delivers the best possible performance in every aspect.<br /><br />
<h3>Traditional Class-A Electronic Design</h3>
Its carefully selected, discrete components ensure brilliant sound quality on any source. The sE2200’s design still avoids using any ICs (integrated circuits) and is built to excel – not to a standard. Low noise, consistent performance and high sensitivity is provided by state-of-the-art surface-mounted electronic components with extremely tight tolerances.
<br /><br />
<h3>Two Switchable Attenuation levels and Low-Cut Filters</h3>
The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide variety of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments...think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums.
<br /><br />
Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, the two low-cut filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.<br /><br />
<h3>Custom-Built Output Transformer</h3>
Reviving the spirit of classic studio microphones, the sE2200’s custom transformer provides superb depth & weight to the overall sonic image, and the massively shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation.
<br /><br />
<h3>All-Metal Housing and Premium Finish</h3>
Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other affordable microphones, the sE2200's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.
<br /><br />
<h3>Gold-Plated XLR Connection</h3>
Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years and years and...
