sE8 Omni Stereo Matched pair: a perfect pair for a perfect sound

sE Electronics presents the omnidirectional version of the acclaimed sE8 condenser microphone. Featuring the same sophisticated capsule and pure condenser technology, the sE8 omni offers the user authentic and transparent sound quality. Each pair is hand-assembled and carefully selected in the sE Electronics factory to ensure the best possible performance. With the lowest self-noise and the highest SPL handling capability for a microphone in its class, the sE8 omni is the perfect choice for demanding applications such as recording orchestras and large instrumental ensembles, as well as soloists, vocals, and percussion.

The sE8 omni captures a balanced and transparent representation, true to the source and the recording environment, making it the ideal choice for recording the essence of a performance without any compromise. Thanks to its incredible transient response and wide dynamic range, it is also excellent for drums, cymbals, and other percussive instruments.

The omnidirectional polar pattern ensures a clear and consistent sound regardless of the distance from the sound source. This allows for a wide range of applications such as recording a symphony orchestra, instrument groups, and solo instruments. It is also suitable for miking choirs and lead vocals.

With its all-metal body, robust design, and high-quality standards, the omnidirectional sE8 is a true workhorse capable of withstanding grueling tours as well as daily use in recording studios of all kinds. Suitable for any sound source, the sE8 omni is the ideal companion for any engineer and producer who needs reliable equipment and sounds true to the source.

Factory Matched Stereo Pair

Quality stereo recordings require precision instruments, with adequate consistency and accurate localization. Therefore, each sE stereo pair is hand-selected to ensure identical performance. The result is the highest possible correlation across the entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity, allowing for stunning three-dimensional recordings.

Perfectly Spherical Polar Pattern

Thanks to the sophisticated acoustic design with high-quality components, the polar pattern is an almost perfect sphere, offering incredibly clear performance free from sound coloration even in the most demanding applications.

Hand-crafted Condenser Capsule

Each capsule is individually hand-crafted and tuned in the sE Electronics factory with extreme attention to detail. The ultra-thin, gold-sputtered small diaphragm offers incredible transient response, allowing it to capture even the most subtle nuances, and the ultra-precision electrode is optimized for a linear and natural sound, thus ensuring a smooth and balanced frequency response.

The Quietest Condenser Microphone in its Class

Thanks to its truly short signal path, the absence of ICs, and Class A electronics, the sE8 omni is one of the quietest microphones on the market (and certainly the quietest in its class). In addition, the transformerless design enables excellent transparency and clarity. The completely new electronic design also ensures an extraordinary dynamic range and excellent, distortion-free transient response.

Two Selectable Attenuation Levels

The two selectable attenuation pads prevent overloading of preamps and mixers and provide an extended, uncompromising dynamic range. They also allow for close-miking techniques even on the loudest sources such as brass, timpani, and drums.

Two Selectable Low-Cut Filters

The integrated low-cut filters can be selected at 80Hz or 160Hz. This helps eliminate low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, or to "free up" some low-end energy.

All-metal Chassis and Premium Finish

The all-metal chassis of the sE8 omni eliminates any electrical interference and noise, and its quality finish preserves its aesthetic value for years to come.

Gold-plated XLR Connector

Corrosion-proof XLR contacts ensure a reliable, long-lasting, and loss-free signal connection.

Standard Accessories (sE8 omni Matched Pair only)

The stereo pair comes with a stereo mounting bar, two clips with USA/EU adapters, two windscreens, and a durable flight case.
