  • Externally Polarized True Condenser Design Ensures Authentic Transient Capture
  • Gold-Sputtered Diaphragm Delivers Unmatched Clarity Across Frequency Range
  • Hand-Crafted Brass Housing Provides Superior Electrical Shielding
  • Individually Hand-Tuned For Precision Consistency Within Matched Pairs
  • Designed With Rupert Neve For Professional Audio Engineering Standards

The sE Electronics RN17 Cardioid Capsule represents precision microphone engineering developed in collaboration with legendary audio designer Rupert Neve. This externally polarized true condenser capsule is engineered for professional engineers, integrators, and recording artists who demand transparent polar response and meticulous frequency capture across broadcast, studio recording, live sound reinforcement, and touring applications.

Each RN17 capsule is hand-crafted with a brass housing that provides superior electrical shielding and mechanical durability. The distinctive gold-sputtered diaphragm—the smallest in production—enables rapid response to transient information, preserving attack definition and micro-dynamics that distinguish professional recordings from standard captures. Individual tuning at the factory ensures consistency across matched pairs, critical for stereo miking, instrument arrays, and redundant wireless systems on tour.

The RN17 excels where clarity and transient fidelity matter most: vocal recording, acoustic instrument capture, overhead and room miking, live instrument reinforcement, and broadcast-grade source acquisition. Available as a single capsule or factory-matched stereo pair.
