The sE Electronics sE8 Supercardioid is a precision small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for applications where focused source capture and maximum isolation are essential. Featuring an ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm and a hand-crafted, individually tuned capsule, the sE8 delivers exceptional transient response, clarity and natural sound while reducing unwanted bleed from surrounding instruments.

The ultra-precision electrode design is optimised for excellent linearity and natural sonics, while the true condenser technology provides high dynamic range and SPL handling. Its precise supercardioid polar pattern makes the sE8 particularly effective for live sound and source-isolation applications, while also making it a versatile choice for acoustic guitar, piano, orchestral instruments, strings, woodwinds, drums, percussion and cymbal overheads.

For additional flexibility, the sE8 features switchable low-cut filtering and attenuation pads, allowing you to tailor the microphone to different sources and recording environments. With a compact 1/2" true condenser capsule, rugged construction and 48V phantom power operation, the sE8 provides precise, natural performance for both studio and stage applications.
