sE Electronics T2 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

The sE Electronics T2 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone offers the versatility of the sE4400a's shockmount, patterns, filters and pads, plus a titanium diaphragm for immediate percussion, bass, guitar and vocal transients. This mic is the ultimate combination of solid state performance and versatility. Based on the chassis and feature spec of the acclaimed 4400a, but with the highly specialized capsule of the original sE Titan, it delivers full and perfectly balanced mid and low frequencies, while its titanium capsule produces un-hyped but ultra-detailed HF response.

Unusually, the T2 features a hand-crafted titanium-sputtered capsule. This is much stiffer than sE Electronics gold-sputtered capsules, meaning quicker transient response, which is important when recording instruments that create fast transients and attack - like drums and percussion - as it enables the microphone to maintain clarity and deliver exceptionally accurate performances. The stiffness of this special diaphragm also allows it to withstand extremely high sound pressure levels, so it can handle the loudest percussion with ease.

The flat, round-edged chassis design and custom suspension mount allow the mic to be centered within the shock, flipped around and used flat against a drum head or guitar cab, or angled outwards and pushed through inside of a kick drum. And at less than 3/4" thick, it fits neatly in the palm of your hand, but is built to take a beating on the road.
