sE Electronics T1 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair)

Matched Pair for Stereo Recording

Rigorously tested and tuned in house by sE Electronics, these sonically matched condenser mics sport a virtually identical frequency response. This ensures a balanced, consistent stereo sound and imaging.

Ideal for recording drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, orchestras, choirs, and more, this factory-matched stereo pair is a great addition to any home or pro studio. This matched pair also includes the essentials needed for instant stereo applications, including a custom stereo bar mount supporting X/Y or A/B mic positioning.

Little Brother of the Renowned T2

Drawing from the well-regarded design of the T2 multipattern condenser microphone, the T1 offers the same performance with a few improvements and a fixed cardioid pattern.

• Titanium-sputtered 1" mylar diaphragm offers superior transient response over gold-sputtered capsules
• True condenser technology with high-precision parts for excellent sound quality
• Improved self noise, from 13 dBA on the T2 to only 9 dBA on the T1
• Enhanced dynamic range over the T2 (128 instead of 124 dB)
• Each capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in sE Electronics' own factory

Precise Cardioid Pattern

Swapping out the multipattern design of the T2 for the cardioid capture of the T1 offers improved off-axis rejection and a more affordable mic without sacrificing sound quality.

• Minimizes signal bleed from unwanted sources, especially helpful in untreated spaces
• Ensures high gain before feedback across the whole frequency range
• Enhances directivity from the source by preventing coloration from indirect reflections and reverb

Switchable Attenuation Pad

The T1 sports the same pad with metal switches found on the T2, providing:

• An extended dynamic range, up to 148 dB
• Greater range of applications due to wider SPL resistance
• Support for close miking of loud sources such as electric guitars, brass instruments, and kick drums

Switchable Low-Cut Filter

The improved high-pass filter on the T1 changes values to 80 and 160 Hz for improved versatility. With the high-pass filter, you can eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise. It also helps compensate for excessive bass when using close-miking techniques.

Handmade Metal Housing with Premium Finish

• Road worthy die-cast housing and solid spring-steel grille for a robust build
• Efficient rejection of electromagnetic interference and noise
• Premium finish ensures an eye-catching look for many years of regular use
• Handmade by sE Electronics engineers
• Rigorously tested and tuned in house for excellent quality control
