sE Electronics T1 – Titanium-Diaphragm Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The sE T1 blends refined engineering and rugged craftsmanship into a high-performance studio condenser. With its 1″ titanium-sputtered diaphragm, ultra-low noise, and massive 157 dB SPL handling (with pad), it’s ideal for everything from vocals and acoustic instruments to drums and brass.
Key Features
-
1″ titanium-sputtered diaphragm: Stiffer and lighter than gold, offering superior transient response and sensitivity
-
Fixed cardioid polar pattern: Excellent off-axis rejection to reduce bleed and ambient reflections
-
Low self-noise (≈ 9 dBA): Ultra-quiet operation for clean, detailed captures
-
High SPL capability of 157 dB (with pad): Can handle very loud sources without distortion
-
Switchable pad (0 / –10 / –20 dB): Protects against overload on loud instruments or close miking
-
Switchable low-cut (flat / 80 Hz / 160 Hz): Helps reduce rumble, footfall noise, or excess proximity bass
-
Handmade die-cast body & steel grille: Durable, roadworthy construction built to last
Customer Benefits
