    INTUITIVE CONTROL MAKES CREATING FUN & EASY

    Intuitive monitor and gain controls provide the flexibility needed to produce high-quality works without having to learn the mic or open an app. Visually manage microphone sensitivity and gain structure with smart input level LEDs integrated into the NEOM’s gain knob for uninterrupted quick adjustments when you’re LIVE or recording.

  • I absolutely LOVE the quality and ease of use of the NEOM, how incredible to have this powerhouse tool that plugs in so easily without an interface with such high-quality recording capability!

    — Tina Guo (Grammy Nominated Cellist & Composer, Sony Artist, Hans Zimmer)

  • "...the NEOM USB delivers a very natural and detailed vocal sound without introducing harshness. There’s also enough mic gain to allow quieter speakers to achieve a healthy recording level, and though no noise figures are quoted, I encountered no significant noise issues when using the mic for its intended close‑up applications."

  • "While well‑suited to podcasting and, because of its stylish looks, also to video presentations, sE’s Neom USB also works well for general music recording purposes — not just vocals but also acoustic guitars, hand percussion and so on."

  • "...the sE Electronics NEOM USB mic more specifically offers controls for gain, output level, and latency free monitoring so you can quickly get recording and focus on the capture rather than the set-up."

  • "In addition to proximity, the sE NEOM does a great job at capturing ambience, space, and distance from the microphone, allowing a source to sit back a little in a mix if required. Most more affordable mics really struggle in this space (pardon the pun), so it’s a welcome feature in the NEOM."

  • "Whether you’re an experienced engineer or a budding podcaster, the NEOM serves its purpose for you, and it serves it well. It records cleanly and allows you to monitor simultaneously via an integrated headphone output, again with a controllable headphone output."

  • "What’s more, their products are super usable and designed with the producer in mind, so they function in very practical and well-planned ways. The NEOM encapsulates this ideology, bringing form and function into a tidy chassis. "

  • I was blown away by the ease of use, its smooth sound, full body tone and that sparkle on the top-end!

  • Recording my gigs just got way easier!
