sE proudly offers cardioid capsules for the highly acclaimed sE8 pencil condenser. Featuring a sophisticated capsule backplate design and true condenser technology, the sE8 cardioid capsule provides an authentic and transparent sound quality second to none. Every pair is hand-crafted in our very own factory and selected from hundreds to ensure the best possible performance. With the lowest noise and highest SPL capability in its class the sE8 cardioid capsule is the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles, choirs but also solo instruments, vocals and percussions.

The perfect spherical polar pattern

The sE8 cardioid capsule is ideal for recording performances and capturing a balanced, transparent representation that is true to the source and environment without any compromises. Thanks to its impressive transient response and vast dynamic range, it is suitable for drums, cymbals and other percussive instruments.

Hand-crafted small condenser capsule

Every capsule is hand-crafted and individually tuned in our very own factory with the highest attention to detail. The ultra-thin gold-sputtered diaphragm delivers an impressive transient response that enables the capture of even the smallest nuances, and the ultra-precision electrode is optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics, ensuring a consistently smooth and balanced frequency response.

Factory-matched stereo pair

Convincing stereo recordings require microphones with high consistency and accurate localization from the pair of microphones. Therefore, at sE every pair is selected from hundreds of individual capsules to provide identical performance. The result is the highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range, and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning three-dimensional recordings.
