The sE Electronics sE8 Supercardioid Matched Pair delivers precision pickup and natural sound for studio and live applications where maximum isolation is essential. Featuring the handcrafted condenser performance of the sE8 with a tighter supercardioid pickup pattern, the matched pair captures sources with exceptional clarity while helping reduce unwanted bleed from surrounding instruments.

Every microphone in an sE8 Stereo Pair is hand-selected from hundreds of individual microphones to ensure highly consistent performance between the two microphones. This careful matching process provides excellent mic-to-mic consistency, helping produce a clear and accurate stereo image for demanding recording applications.

Each sE8 features an ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transient response, with every capsule handcrafted and individually tuned at the sE factory. The precise supercardioid pattern makes the pair ideal for focused source capture and isolation, while switchable 80Hz and 160Hz low-cut filters and 10dB and 20dB attenuation pads provide flexibility across a wide range of sources.
