Independent shopping perspective
The black sE2300 is an analog, side-address condenser microphone for studio work on vocals, spoken word, acoustic instruments, drums, and other sources. Its selectable omni, cardioid, and figure-eight patterns let you choose the direct-to-ambient balance for the recording. Switchable pads extend its handling of louder close-miked sources, while the 80 Hz and 160 Hz low-cut options address rumble, footfall noise, or excess bass from close placement. A shock mount, integrated metal pop filter, and thread adapter are included.
