sE2300

The versatile classic from sE

The sE2300 is the latest multi-pattern version of the award-winning 2200 condenser microphone that put sE Electronics on the map many years ago with its smooth, polished sound for vocals, voiceovers, and numerous instrumental applications. The cardioid version grew famous through use with world-class vocal artists like Amy Winehouse, and this multi-pattern version only increases its versatility, enhancing its usefulness for any instrument and reviving the spirit of the world’s most classic studio microphones.

Inside the sE2300

HAND-CRAFTED 1″ TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE

Built like the world’s finest musical instruments, every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in our very own factory in Shanghai – and unlike other microphones with backplate or electret designs, the sE2300 features a true externally polarized condenser capsule, and therefore delivers the best possible performance in every aspect.

THREE SELECTABLE POLAR PATTERNS

The 3-position Pattern Switch is located on the rear side of the microphone, and allows the sE2300’s polar pattern to be changed from omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-eight. This allows for great control over the balance between direct and ambient sound.

TWO SWITCHABLE ATTENUATION LEVELS & LOW-CUT FILTERS

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, the two low-cut filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble and proximity effect in close-mic techniques with -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide variety of applications…think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums.

TRADITIONAL CLASS-A ELECTRONIC DESIGN

Its carefully selected, discrete components ensure brilliant sound quality on any source. The sE2300’s design still avoids using any ICs (integrated circuits) and is built to excel – not to a standard. State-of-the-art surface-mounted electronic components provide low noise, consistent performance and high sensitivity with extremely tight tolerances.

ALL-METAL HOUSING & PREMIUM FINISH

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other affordable microphones, the sE2300’s all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise – and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.

CUSTOM-BUILT OUTPUT TRANSFORMER

Reviving the spirit of classic studio microphones, the sE2300’s custom transformer provides superb depth & weight to the overall sonic image, and the massively shielded metal housing ensures noise-free operation.

GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR

Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years and years and…

Inside the Iso Pack

All-METAL ADJUSTABLE POP FILTER

Made from metal (rather than delicate fabric), the pop filter can be vertically positioned to accommodate any mic or completely removed from the shockmount if desired.

QUICK-RELEASE SHOCKMOUNT

The integrated quick-release mechanism at the base of the shockmount makes it easy to insert or remove a mic. No screws, no hassle, just one twist to secure or release.
