Product Description

The sE4100 is the cardioid-only version of the multi-pattern sE4400, built for engineers who want that microphone's warm, rounded character without paying for patterns they never switch to. It carries the very same hand-crafted twin 1" gold-sputtered brass capsule, individually tuned in the sE factory, wired for a single cardioid pattern.

Cardioid pickup with strong rear rejection makes it a practical choice for drum overheads and guitar amps in rooms that are not acoustically perfect. Max SPL reaches 157 dB with the -20 dB pad, so close placement on a snare, hi-hat or cranked cab stays clean. Self-noise of 9 dB(A) and an 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio keep quiet sources like lead vocals and orchestral strings free of hiss.

Switchable 80 and 160 Hz low-cut filters trim proximity buildup and stage rumble at the source. The all-metal housing is built for regular transport, and the innovative close-miking shockmount lets you get the capsule into tight positions around a kit or amp where a conventional mount will not fit.

At 290 g and 146 mm long, it is compact enough to place where larger side-firing condensers cannot go. Recommended for lead vocals, orchestral strings, drums and overheads, electric guitar cabs, piano, acoustic guitar, woodwinds and brass. Shockmount, thread adapter and metal case are included.

Features

    • Same Capsule, Single Pattern

      You get the identical hand-tuned 1-inch gold-sputtered capsule found in the sE4400, wired for cardioid only if that is the pattern you actually use.

    • Built For Loud Placement

      Max SPL of 157 dB with the pad engaged means you can put it inches from a snare, hi-hat or cranked guitar cab without distortion.

    • Quiet On Delicate Sources

      Self-noise of 9 dB(A) and an 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio keep lead vocals and orchestral strings clean when the preamp is working hard.

    • Fits Where Others Cannot

      A compact 146 mm body and close-miking shockmount let you position the capsule in tight spots around a kit that larger mics cannot reach.

    • Filters At The Source

      Switchable 80 and 160 Hz low-cut filters trim proximity buildup and stage rumble before they reach your preamp or your mix.
