## Long description

The sE Electronics sE8 is a compact, handcrafted small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional studio and stage use. It provides a wide frequency response from 20 to 20,000 Hz and a sensitivity of -32 dB, delivering clear capture of transient-rich sources. The microphone uses wired XLR-3 connectivity and requires 48 V phantom power while consuming 2.7 mA. With a compact height of 120 mm, a diameter of 2.3 cm and a weight of 141 g, the sE8 is easy to position for overheads, acoustic instruments and close-miking techniques.
Advantages
The sE8 features a handcrafted, gold-sputtered true condenser capsule with a precisely engineered backplate for consistent off-axis response and natural sonics. Its transformerless Class‑A circuitry provides high dynamic range and low self-noise, making it suitable for quiet and transient-rich sources. Built with an all‑metal housing and a gold‑plated XLR connector, the microphone offers durable, interference-resistant operation and reliable signal transfer. Two switchable pre-attenuation pads (-10 dB and -20 dB) and two selectable low-cut filters (80 Hz and 160 Hz) add flexibility for handling high SPL and reducing low-frequency rumble.
Suitable for
Drum overheads and cymbals
Acoustic guitar and stringed instruments
Brass and woodwind instruments
Snare drums and percussion close-miking
Stage and studio live instrument capture

Switches: two pre-attenuation pads (-10 dB, -20 dB) and two low-cut filters (80 Hz, 160 Hz)
How to use
Connect the sE8 to a mixer, preamp or audio interface using a balanced XLR cable and ensure the device supplies 48 V phantom power. Position the microphone according to the source: place it above drum kits for overhead capture, near the 12th fret or soundhole for acoustic guitar, or close to brass and snare drums for detailed transient response. Use the pre-attenuation pads when miking loud sources to prevent overload, and engage the low-cut filters to reduce low-frequency rumble or proximity boost. Secure the microphone in the supplied mic clip and mount it on a stable stand.
Usage recommendations
For best results, hand-tune placement by listening for natural off-axis response and transient clarity. Start with the low-cut at 80 Hz and only switch to 160 Hz if excessive low-frequency energy persists. Use the -10 dB pad for moderately loud sources and the -20 dB pad for very high SPL situations. Regularly check cable and connector integrity to maintain a low-noise signal path.
