By asking questions like these, we push the boundaries of what a piece of recording equipment can accomplish. By devoting more of our resources to quality components - and less of them to advertising - we take huge steps to increase the value of our gear. By hand-crafting our condenser capsules and ribbon elements with care and dedication, we seek to eradicate the line between "affordable" and "professional". sE is still family-owned and operated, and takes great pride in every single piece of equipment that leaves the building.






No matter what you're recording, your microphone is capturing the movement of air. Tiny fluctuations in air density set the capsule's diaphragm in motion, creating the tiniest of electrical impulses, which are amplified by the microphone and sent down an XLR cable to your preamplifier - but it all starts with the capsule's diaphragm. In short, a microphone's capsule is about as delicate an instrument as you can findThe world's finest musical instruments are built by hand, and so are these mics.




With all our design, engineering, and the vast majority of our manufacturing taking place in our very own factory, we are able to offer products of extremely high quality at a very affordable cost. At sE, we believe in the power of great design. Our engineers don't just want to capture exceptional performances - they want our gear to look as beautiful and unique as it sounds, and we understand that these two things are often linked.
