The sE Electronics sE8 Supercardioid Condenser Microphone is designed for precision pickup and natural sound in applications where maximum isolation is essential. Its tighter supercardioid pickup pattern focuses on the intended source while helping reduce unwanted bleed from surrounding instruments, making it suitable for both studio recording and live sound.

The sE8 features an ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm for excellent transient response, combined with a handcrafted and individually tuned 1/2" true condenser capsule. An ultra-precision electrode design is optimised for superb linearity and natural sonics, while the microphone's high dynamic range and SPL handling provide clean, detailed capture across a wide range of sources.

With switchable 80Hz and 160Hz low-cut filters and 10dB and 20dB attenuation pads, the sE8 offers flexible control for demanding recording situations. The precise supercardioid polar pattern makes it particularly useful for source isolation, with recommended applications including acoustic guitar, choir, orchestral and string instruments, piano, woodwinds, drums, percussion and cymbals or overheads.
