The sE Electronics RN17 represents a collaboration between sE and legendary transformer designer Rupert Neve, engineered to address fundamental limitations in small-diaphragm condenser microphone design. Featuring a 15mm gold-sputtered capsule—the smallest in production—the RN17 delivers exceptional transient response ideal for capturing delicate high-frequency detail from acoustic guitar, orchestral strings, piano, woodwinds, drums, and overhead cymbal work.
The RN17's custom full-scale transformer, designed by Rupert Neve himself, enables clarity and headroom previously unachievable in this microphone class. Rather than emphasizing presence peaks, the transformer delivers balanced midrange detail, accurate low-end response, and natural high-frequency extension. Professional engineers and touring acts rely on this combination for both studio recording and mainstage live applications.
Every RN17 ships with a precision shockmount, wooden storage box, metal flight case, thread adapter, and manual. Pair configurations include factory-matched transformers and capsules, a stereo mounting bar, dual shockmounts, and presentation case—all housed in a secure flight case for portable professional work.
