sE Electronics sE2200 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Mic

Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Studio Recording

The sE Electronics sE2200 is a large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed for professional studio recording, voiceovers, and instrument miking. Built as a true condenser microphone, it delivers a smooth, balanced sound that works equally well on vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar cabinets, drums, and room capture. This bundled version includes an isolation shockmount and pop filter, making it a complete solution for clean, controlled recording right out of the box.

Hand-Crafted Capsule with Cardioid Pickup Pattern

At the core of the sE2200 is a hand-crafted dual 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm capsule, individually tuned at the sE Electronics factory. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound sources directly in front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the rear, helping reduce room reflections and ambient interference. This makes the sE2200 especially effective in home studios, vocal booths, and untreated recording spaces.

Class-A Electronics and Custom Transformer Design

The microphone uses a traditional Class-A circuit design with carefully selected discrete components and no integrated circuits. This approach ensures low self-noise, high sensitivity, and consistent performance across a wide range of sound sources. A custom-built output transformer adds depth and weight to recordings while preserving clarity and detail, contributing to the microphone’s classic studio character.

Switchable Pads and Low-Cut Filters for Flexible Recording

Two selectable pad settings at -10 dB and -20 dB allow the sE2200 to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion, making it suitable for loud instruments and close-miking techniques. Dual low-cut filter options at 80 Hz and 160 Hz help manage low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, and proximity effect, giving engineers greater control over tonal balance during tracking.

Isolation Pack for Cleaner Vocal Recordings

Included with the microphone is sE Electronics’ isolation pack, which features a robust shockmount and curved metal pop filter. The shockmount decouples the microphone from stand vibrations and handling noise, while the pop filter reduces plosives and breath noise during vocal recording. Both accessories are designed for quick setup and precise positioning, improving workflow efficiency in studio sessions.

Durable All-Metal Construction with Reliable Connectivity

The sE2200 is housed in a rugged all-metal chassis that provides excellent shielding against electrical interference. A gold-plated XLR connector ensures reliable signal transfer to microphone preamps and audio interfaces. The microphone operates on standard 48V phantom power, making it compatible with professional mixers, interfaces, and recording consoles.
