The sE4100 cardioid condenser microphone pair delivers the exceptional tone and robust build you need, whether tracking in the studio or performing live. Featuring the same handcrafted 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsule as the acclaimed sE4400, the sE4100 captures vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar cabs and drum overheads with smooth, nuanced detail. With an integrated pad and low-cut filter, the sE4100 easily tames loud guitar amps, brass instruments and boomy kick drums.

Precise Cardioid Polar Pattern Rejects Off-Axis Sound

The sE4100's tight cardioid pattern picks up what's directly in front while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This lets you isolate the sound source and prevent coloration from room reflections and reverb. The exceptional off-axis rejection also minimizes bleed from other instruments on stage or nearby mics in the studio. You get excellent source separation and feedback rejection across the entire frequency range.

Handcrafted Condenser Capsule for Studio-Quality Sound

Within the sE4100 is a meticulously hand-built 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsule that captures every nuance. The gold-sputtered diaphragm is optimized for highly reliable performance. Hand-tuned in sE's own factory, each capsule gets individual attention for unrivaled accuracy. The large diaphragm transducer and true condenser design provide the transient response, wide dynamic range and ultrasmooth tonal character that discerning engineers and artists demand.

Robust All-Metal Housing Built for the Road

While delivering a pristine studio sound, the sE4100 is constructed to withstand the rigors of live use and travel. The dent-resistant die-cast metal body and rugged steel grille make the sE4100 suitable for drum kits, guitar amps and brass sections. Up to 140dB SPL handling also makes it an ideal choice for miking high-SPL sources. The premium finish resists wear over years of use. With exceptional build quality, the sE4100 brings studio-grade sound to the stage.

Integrated Pad and Low-Cut Filter Tame Loud Sources

To smoothly capture a variety of sound sources, the sE4100 provides extra control where you need it. The 10dB pad provides an extended dynamic range to handle loud guitar amps, brass instruments and boomy kick drums without distortion. The low-cut filter removes unwanted rumble and proximity effect. Together, the pad and filter allow close miking for optimal sound quality in any environment.

Matched Pair Ensures Balanced, Consistent Stereo Imaging

For immersive stereo recording, the sE4100-pair comes with two mics that have been rigorously tested and matched for nearly identical response. Each sE4100 is tuned in-house to ensure well-balanced imaging and cohesive sound across the stereo field. The matched sE4100 pair comes complete with shockmounts, stereo bar and protective case—everything you need to achieve big stereo sound.
