Designed for precision stereo recording, the sE Electronics sE8 omni Microphone Capsules (Matched Pair) gives you two meticulously matched sE8 omni microphones capsules, which can be used in place of the cardioid capsules that come with sE8 microphones. The sE8 omni capsules have been engineered to provide a balanced, transparent, and natural sound as well as a detailed transient response, making these hand-made, gold-sputtered omnidirectional capsules suitable for recording individual instruments, ensembles, or an entire orchestra. When the capsules are paired with sE8 mic bodies, the resulting mics deliver inherently low self-noise for meeting the demands of high-resolution digital recording. They also accommodate maximum SPLs high enough to handle drums, and a dynamic range large enough to record triple-piano to triple-forte velocities accurately.
Every pair is handcrafted and carefully selected in the sE factory to ensure the best possible performance. With low self-noise and ultrahigh SPL capability, the sE8 omni is the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles, and choirs as well as solo instruments, vocals, and percussion.
