SE electronics sE2200

Microphone classic of the 21st century - now even better

The sE Electronics sE2200 is the extended and technically improved version of the multiple award-winning sE top seller sE2200a II C.

While the handmade capsule and the output transformer specially manufactured for sE remain unchanged in the new sE2200, the modern, more powerful electronics ensure the best signal fidelity, an even shorter signal path and even lower inherent noise at the highest level. sE continues to dispense with integrated circuits and instead relies on proven Class A technology with high-quality, discrete components. Modern, surface-mounted components enable true-to-the-original sound and even greater consistency and reliability than previous models. The striking design of the sE2200 and its outstanding sound have remained the same.

Speech, vocals and more:

The sE2200 is mainly used for voice and vocal recordings in the studio. However, it is also increasingly used for miking drums and electric guitars - even on stage. With its handcrafted large diaphragm capsule, shielded output transformer and discrete Class A circuitry, it offers superior sound, low self-noise and a balanced frequency response, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Dual-diaphragm technology for an enhanced sound experience:

The sE2200 has a fixed, cardioid polar pattern. Nevertheless, as with microphones with switchable directional characteristics, two gold-vapour-coated diaphragms are used to ensure the best possible sound quality. The high-quality capsules are manufactured exclusively by hand and individually tuned in sE's own production facility. For its large-diaphragm capsule, sE relies exclusively on true condenser technology with external polarisation.

That certain something of classic studio microphones:

The high-quality capsule and the carefully selected, discrete components impress with a smooth yet present sound in many applications. The use of integrated circuits (ICs) has been deliberately avoided so as not to make any compromises. The low self-noise, consistent manufacturing quality and high sensitivity are made possible by the use of high-quality, surface-mounted components with particularly tight tolerances. As is usual with classic studio microphones, a solidly shielded output transformer ensures interference-free transmission and that certain something of airiness and fullness of sound.

Attenuation filter with two stages:

The attenuation filter (pad) provides a high degree of flexibility and an extended dynamic range. The two stages (-10dB and -20dB) prevent clipping of the electronics and the connected microphone preamp or audio interface right at the start of the signal chain. This means that even very loud instruments such as brass instruments and snare drums can be miked without any problems, even in the near field.

Two-stage LoCut filter:

The integrated LoCut can be switched between two stages (80Hz and 160Hz) to attenuate unwanted rumble and footstep noises and to dampen the proximity effect caused by near-field miking.

Robust metal housing and high-quality surfaces:

The sophisticated design is particularly durable and effectively shields the electronics against electromagnetic interference fields.

Gold-plated XLR connector for reliable transmission:

The corrosion-free contacts enable loss-free and reliable transmission for many years.
