sE Electronics T2 Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics T2 Condenser Microphone Overview

A mic that is versatile, durable and good enough to impress a perfectionist - yet extremely affordable. Doesn't colour the soundscape almost at all, frequency response almost perfectly neutral with cardioid pattern. Compares very well to expensive flagship-models of AKG and Neumann.

The sE Electronics T2 is the ultimate combination of solid state performance and versatility. Based on the chassis and feature spec of the acclaimed 4400a. The sE Electronics T2 delivers full and perfectly balanced mid and low frequencies, while its Titanium capsule produces un-hyped but ultra-detailed HF response. It is ideally suited for percussive recordings, including studio use for drums (and of course percussion), picked guitar, hammer action on piano, kick drum, slap bass etc.

Also the ideal broadcast mic for spoken word; since the intelligibility of any speech recording comes with good definition of HF it is especially important for any mic used to deliver great HF response. However, simply hyping the HF with an EQ bump can cause the sound to be sibilant and harsh sounding. The T2 delivers perfectly balanced HF response due to its very fast HF transient response, giving exceptional intelligibility without the hype.
