The new handcrafted capsule features a refined backplate design that provides a perfectly balanced sound, so it is never harsh or aggressive - ideal for sources like hi-hats and drums.

It is also one of the quietest small-diaphragm microphones on the planet - and with the highest dynamic range and SPL handling in its class, along with attenuation pads and low-cut filters for exceptional versatility, the sE8 is ready for any sound, whether in a studio environment or demanding on-stage applications.
