Focused supercardioid pickup

Thanks to its sophisticated acoustic design, the sE8 Supercardioid delivers pristine, transparent sound without unwanted coloration. Its highly consistent supercardioid polar pattern provides precise, focused capture with excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing bleed from surrounding instruments while preserving the natural character of the source.

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 capsule pair

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