sE Electronics SE2000 MKII Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics Mics are a trusted favourite amongst professionals because of their industry knowledge and quality products. The SE2000 is one of the more affordable mics sE have in their range but the high quality is still evident. Using cutting edge production techniques to keep costs low sE Electronics are able to produce quality, entry level music gear as well as some of the most advanced microphones around.

The SE2000 MKII is ideal for vocal and acoustic instrument recording in the home and project studio environments. Designed to offer high quality results and exceptional value, this large diaphragm condenser microphone is a great home studio mic that won't break the bank or to use in places such as under the snare drum where you might not want to risk one of your more expensive mics.

The sE2000 is a cardioid pattern capacitor mic with a centre-terminated gold-sputtered (mylar diaphragm) capsule, low noise Class A FET circuitry and a transformer balanced output stage. A wide frequency response and subtle presence lift make it ideal for recording studio vocals and acoustic instruments. All sE mics are closely matched meaning they are ideal for stereo applications. It is worth noting that the sE2000 requires 48v Phantom Power which almost all audio interfaces with XLR inputs can provide.

At the heart of the SE2000 MKII Condenser Microphone is a gold-sputtered capsule, built by hand by skilled engineers in sE Electronics and thoroughly tested after every process. The mylar diaphragm is fitted and tightened by hand, with gold sputtering added to improve electrical performance. The careful capsule creation doesn't stop there, as each is tuned by hand to meet sE Electronics' high standards of quality.

sE Electronics SE2000 MKII Condenser Microphone Review

"This is a good mic. It doesn't cost a lot, but it will more than do the job for the home producer. The slightly upped presence is nice and natural-sounding...If you're starting your studio and want to make an impact with your acoustic and vocal recordings, there's a lot to love in the SE Electronics SE2000."
