A handcrafted cardioid condenser delivering pristine audio capture.
The sE 4100 cardioid condenser microphone brings sE Electronics' refined large-diaphragm sound to single-pattern simplicity. Built around the same handcrafted 1" gold-sputtered brass capsule as the acclaimed sE4400, it captures vocals, acoustic instruments, pianos and more with smooth, natural precision. Impressively versatile yet pleasantly straightforward, the sE4100 puts sE's acclaimed sound quality in the palm of your hand.
Robust All-Metal Housing
The sE4100 is built from the ground up for the rigors of professional use. Its dent-resistant housing is crafted entirely from metal, from the grille to the switches. Thoughtfully designed details like a spring steel grille and premium finish ensure the sE4100 will look great on stage or in the studio year after year. With exceptional robustness and efficient electrical interference rejection, it's engineered to deliver pristine audio night after night, session after session.
Smooth, Natural Sound for Diverse Sources
The sE4100's handcrafted 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsule captures your sound with impressive detail and clarity. Its smooth, natural tone makes it a versatile choice ideal for everything from lead and backing vocals to acoustic guitar, strings, woodwinds and piano. The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation, focusing on the audio directly in front of the mic while minimizing bleed from other onstage sounds.
Tame Loud Sources
The sE4100 comes equipped with a switchable -10dB pad, giving you extended headroom when working with louder audio sources. Engaging the pad prevents clipping when close miking guitar amps, brass instruments or loud vocalists. It also helps compensate for proximity effect on booming kick drums and other low-frequency intensive sounds. The pad expands the sE4100's versatility, allowing optimal gain staging across a diverse range of studio and live sound sources.
Eliminate Rumble With Low-Cut Filter
A switchable 80Hz low-cut filter removes unwanted rumble, giving you tighter low end. Engage it when close miking bass cabinets or kick drums to eliminate muddiness. It also reduces footfall noise and other low frequency rumble on stage. The low-cut filter improves isolation, allowing the sE4100 to capture your core sound without boominess or muddiness. For flexible tone shaping right at the source, rely on the sE4100's integrated pad and low-cut filter.
