sE Electronics SE-T1 Large Diaphragm Condenser Cardioid Microphone

Product Overview

Classic sound meets modern craftsmanship in its simplest form; we proudly introduce the little brother to the renowned T2 – meet the T1 large-diaphragm cardioid true-condenser microphone! With cardioid being the most common polar pattern utilized in both live and studio applications, the T1 prioritizes the features you really need, putting the smooth sound character of classic condensers in the palm of your hand.

Featuring the very same handcrafted twin 1“ titanium-sputtered brass capsule as the T2 - the T1 is a true workhorse that delivers incredible results on a wide array of sources. Titanium is 33% stiffer and more than 300% lighter than gold, resulting in a faster transient response, perfect for capturing sources that thrive on attack such as drums, cymbals, hand percussion, and upright bass just to name a few applications. The T1 is especially outstanding in live environments as a factory matched-pair for overheads or instrument spot mic applications.

Handcrafted with the highest attention to detail, the T1 is built with a dent-proof die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches, a rugged spring steel wire mesh grille, and a premium finish. The T1 is roadworthy, ready to handle the day-to-day life of touring professionals and years of demanding studio use.

With integrated attenuation pads and low-cut filters, the T1 compensates for loud sources, easily taming excessive low-frequency rumble or proximity effect, providing the necessary extended dynamic range and roll-offs needed to dial in your sound at its source. Classic sound meets modern craftsmanship in its simplest form; the T1 is a cardioid version of the renowned T2. With cardioid being the most common polar pattern utilized in both live and studio applications, the T1 prioritizes the features you really need, putting the smooth sound character of classic condensers in the palm of your hand.
