sE Electronics sE4100 (Pair) Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Drawing from the well-regarded design of the sE4400 multipattern condenser microphone, the sE4100 offers the same performance with a few improvements and a fixed cardioid pattern.

• Twin gold-sputtered 1″ mylar diaphragms offer excellent results on a wide array of sound sources
• True condenser technology with high-precision parts for excellent sound quality
• Improved self noise, from 13 dBA on the sE4400 to only 9 dBA on the sE4100
• Enhanced dynamic range over the sE4400 (128 instead of 124 dB)
• Each capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in sE Electronics’ own factory

Swapping out the multipattern design of the sE4400 for the cardioid capture of the sE4100 offers improved off-axis rejection and a more affordable mic without sacrificing sound quality.

• Minimizes signal bleed from unwanted sources, especially helpful in untreated spaces
• Ensures high gain before feedback across the whole frequency range
• Enhances directivity from the source by preventing coloration from indirect reflections and reverb

The sE4100 sports the same pad with metal switches found on the sE4400, providing:

• An extended dynamic range, up to 148 dB
• Greater range of applications due to wider SPL resistance
• Support for close miking of loud sources such as electric guitars, brass instruments, and kick drums

The improved high-pass filter on the sE4100 changes values to 80 and 160 Hz for improved versatility. With the high-pass filter, you can eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise. It also helps compensate for excessive bass when using close-miking techniques.

• Road worthy die-cast housing and solid spring-steel grille for a robust build
• Efficient rejection of electromagnetic interference and noise
• Premium finish ensures an eye-catching look for many years of regular use
• Handmade by sE Electronics engineers
• Rigorously tested and tuned in house for excellent quality control
