sE Electronics sE4100 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Little Brother of the Renowned sE4400

Drawing from the well-regarded design of the sE4400 multipattern condenser microphone, the sE4100 offers the same performance with a few improvements and a fixed cardioid pattern.

• Twin gold-sputtered 1" mylar diaphragms offer excellent results on a wide array of sound sources
• True condenser technology with high-precision parts for excellent sound quality
• Improved self noise, from 13 dBA on the sE4400 to only 9 dBA on the sE4100
• Enhanced dynamic range over the sE4400 (128 instead of 124 dB)
• Each capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in sE Electronics' own factory

Precise Cardioid Pattern

Swapping out the multipattern design of the sE4400 for the cardioid capture of the sE4100 offers improved off-axis rejection and a more affordable mic without sacrificing sound quality.

• Minimizes signal bleed from unwanted sources, especially helpful in untreated spaces
• Ensures high gain before feedback across the whole frequency range
• Enhances directivity from the source by preventing coloration from indirect reflections and reverb

Switchable Attenuation Pad

The sE4100 sports the same pad with metal switches found on the sE4400, providing:

• An extended dynamic range, up to 148 dB
• Greater range of applications due to wider SPL resistance
• Support for close miking of loud sources such as electric guitars, brass instruments, and kick drums

Switchable Low-Cut Filter

The improved high-pass filter on the sE4100 changes values to 80 and 160 Hz for improved versatility. With the high-pass filter, you can eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise. It also helps compensate for excessive bass when using close-miking techniques.

Handmade Metal Housing with Premium Finish

• Road worthy die-cast housing and solid spring-steel grille for a robust build
• Efficient rejection of electromagnetic interference and noise
• Premium finish ensures an eye-catching look for many years of regular use
• Handmade by sE Electronics engineers
• Rigorously tested and tuned in house for excellent quality control
