sE2300

The SE Electronics sE2300 is a multi-pattern large-diaphragm true condenser microphone with cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns for studio vocals and instrumental recording.

From the Manufacturer

The sE2300 is the latest multi-pattern version of the award-winning 2200 condenser microphone that put sE Electronics on the map many years ago with its smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceovers, and numerous instrumental applications. The cardioid version grew famous through use with world-class vocal artists like Amy Winehouse, and this multi-pattern version only increases its versatility, enhancing its usefulness for any instrument and reviving the spirit of the world's most classic studio microphones. Featuring a hand-crafted 1" true condenser capsule individually tuned in our own factory, the sE2300 delivers state-of-the-art components with a shorter, optimized signal path. Traditional Class-A electronic design ensures consistent low-noise performance, while the custom-built output transformer and massively shielded all-metal housing provide exceptional signal integrity.
