The sE Electronics RNT-U Rupert Neve Tube Condenser Microphone close-mics instruments including electric guitar speaker cabinets, brass instruments, and drums.
The RNT: A new flagship tube microphone from sE Electronics and Rupert Neve Designs® delivers the pristine, musical sonic character and uncompromising performance of the world's most prized recording equipment. All in all, this tube microphone brings the larger-than-life sounds of classic studio microphones into the modern age with greater depth and clarity than ever before.
The first stage is tube-based, with a hand-selected, low-noise ECC82 tube within the microphone chassis, and implementing a custom-built Rupert Neve Designs output transformer. The second stage is within the floor box – which controls polar pattern, filter and gain switching – and is also coupled with a second custom-made Rupert Neve Designs output transformer. The Class-A electronics and switchable gain ensure a massive dynamic range, with high sound pressure level (SPL) handling capability and extremely low-noise components, and the switchable low-cut filters eliminate rumble or footfall noise, and can also compensate for an excess of bass frequencies caused by the proximity effect.
