sE ElectronicssE8 Small Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Pair
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A factory-matched stereo pair of cardioid small-diaphragm condenser microphones for detailed stereo capture in the studio or on stage. Each sE8 uses a handcrafted, hand-tuned gold-sputtered capsule, while the matched-pair selection is intended to keep the two microphones closely consistent for a clear stereo image. Switchable pads and low-cut filters broaden the practical setup range, from close miking louder sources to reducing rumble or footfall noise.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Capturing drum overheads or hi-hats with a matched pair for a clear stereo image.
- Close-miking brass instruments or snare drums using the selectable attenuation pads.
- Reducing rumble, footfall noise, or excess bass with the 80Hz or 160Hz filters.
