sE Electronics sE8 Omni

Article number 1312884

sE8 omni - the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles and choirs but equally good for solo instruments, vocals and percussion.

Based on the highly acclaimed sE8 cardioid pencil condenser, sE proudly offers an omnidirectional option

Featuring the very same, sophisticated capsule backplate design and true condenser technology, the sE8 omni provides an authentic and transparent sound quality second to none.

Every pair is hand-crafted and carefully selected in our own factory to ensure the best possible performance. With the lowest noise and highest SPL capability in its class, the sE8 omni is the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles and choirs but equally good for solo instruments, vocals and percussion.

As with all SE factory-matched pairs, every mic ending up in a sE8 Stereo Pair configuration is hand-selected from hundreds of individual microphones. This ensures identical performance and the highest possible mic-to-mic consistency, so you can rest assured that your stereo image will be as clear & accurate as possible.

HANDCRAFTED TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE

Gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability

every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory

ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics

ultra-thin 3 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients

with an ultra-precision electrode, the sE8 omni is optimized for superb linearity and natural sound, ensuring a consistently smooth and balanced frequency response

THE QUIETEST PENCIL MIC IN ITS CLASS

sophisticated electronic design provides extremely low noise without the use of integrated circuits

transformer less design for excellent transparency and clarity

proven Class-A circuitry ensures a high dynamic range without distortion and brilliant transient response

TWO SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PADS

The -10dB and -20dB switchable attenuation pad prevents overloading your preamp or mixer and provides extended dynamic range without compromises. Two switchable levels enable close-mic techniques for even the loudest sources like brass instruments, timpani and drums.

TWO SWITCHABLE LOW-CUT FILTERS

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.

ALL-METAL HOUSING WITH GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR, PREMIUM FINISH & ACCESSORIES

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some small-capsule microphones, the sE8's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connector ensures a great look and a loss-free, reliable signal connection for years to come. The sE8 also comes standard with a newly-designed mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand.

The sE8 Matched Pair comes complete with a precision stereo mounting bar, two protective wind screens, two mic clips, and a robust high-quality metal flight case.
