A road-ready condenser mic with titanium transient response.
The sE T1 cardioid condenser microphone from sE Electronics puts pristine studio-quality sound in a rugged housing designed for life on the road. Featuring the same handcrafted 1" titanium-sputtered capsule as the renowned sE T2, the T1 delivers incredibly fast transient response perfect for capturing drums, percussion, guitar amps and more. For matched stereo pairs, each T1 undergoes rigorous in-house testing and tuning to ensure a balanced, consistent frequency response.
Capture Transients with Titanium
At the heart of the T1 is a handcrafted 1" true condenser capsule sputtered with titanium. Titanium is lighter and stiffer than traditional gold or brass diaphragms, resulting in a transient response so fast and accurate, your drums and percussion will never sound the same. The T1 excels on a wide range of sources that thrive on attack, from shimmering overhead cymbals to an articulate upright bass. It's an ideal cardioid condenser microphone for studio and stage.
Extended Dynamic Range
With integrated pad and low-cut filter switches, the T1 easily handles everything from subtle acoustic instruments to screaming electric guitars. The -10dB pad tames loud sources and prevents clipping, while the low-cut filter at 80Hz removes rumble, footfalls or proximity effect from close miking. This provides the extended dynamic range needed to capture clean, focused sound right at the source.
Built Tough for the Road
While the T1 delivers pristine studio-quality sound, its handcrafted metal housing and dent-proof die-cast build makes it road-ready. With metal switches, spring steel grille and premium finish, it's built to handle the rigors of touring and years in the studio. The T1 offers maximum robustness against electrical interference and road noise.
Dial in Your Stereo Image
For perfectly matched stereo recording, T1's are available in matched pairs, tuned and tested for a balanced, consistent frequency response. Each set includes a rugged carrying case, stereo bar and shockmounts - everything needed to mic drums, acoustic guitars, piano and other instruments in stereo right out of the box. Get legendary condenser sound in a tough titanium housing with the sE T1.
