The sE Electronics SE4100-U is a cardioid-only condenser microphone engineered for professional live sound, touring, and studio recording. Built on the proven platform of the multi-pattern sE4400, this single-pattern version strips away complexity and delivers the warm, smooth character of a true large-diaphragm condenser in a roadworthy design. The hand-crafted 1" gold-sputtered brass capsule is individually tuned in sE's factory and sonically matched to ensure consistency across paired units, making it ideal for overhead miking, spot miking instruments, and capturing lead vocals in both live environments and studio tracking.

Professionals rely on the SE4100-U for drum overheads, guitar amplifier cabinets, acoustic and grand piano, brass and woodwind instruments, and orchestral strings. The integrated -10 and -20 dB attenuation pads handle loud sources without distortion, while switchable 80 and 160 Hz low-cut filters tame proximity effect and low-frequency rumble. With a maximum SPL of 157 dB at full pad engagement and an equivalent noise level of only 9 dB(A), the SE4100-U delivers extended dynamic range and clarity even in demanding touring and venue sound reinforcement scenarios.

Constructed with die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches, and a rugged spring steel mesh grille, the SE4100-U is built to withstand the rigors of touring and daily professional use. The innovative close-miking shockmount provides exceptional isolation from vibration and handling noise, while the flat, round-edged chassis allows flexible positioning on drum heads, guitar cabs, or standard mic stands.
