sE Electronics T2 Condenser Microphone - Matched Pair
The sE Electronics T2 (P) Matched Pair Microphone set offers exceptional quality for a wide range of recording applications. These perfectly matched condenser microphones are equipped with hand-crafted titanium-sputtered capsules, ensuring an unparalleled transient response that captures every nuance of instruments like drums and strings with stunning clarity. The T2’s design is focused on essentials, featuring four versatile polar patterns that provide flexibility in any recording environment without unnecessary complexity.
Fine-tuning your recordings is made easy with the T2’s switchable pre-attenuation pads and bass-cut filters, which help eliminate unwanted noise and distortion. Whether you’re recording the delicate dynamics of a string ensemble or the powerful impact of a drum kit, the T2’s rugged construction and superior sound quality make it an indispensable tool in any microphone collection. Available as a matched pair, these microphones deliver cohesive stereo recordings that enhance your soundstage with precision and depth.
The T2’s titanium-sputtered capsule is a key feature, offering a level of rigidity and lightness that surpasses traditional gold-sputtered capsules. This results in a faster transient response, crucial for accurately capturing the attack and decay of fast-moving sound sources like percussion and strings. Whether you’re working with the sharp strikes of a snare drum or the swift movements of a violin bow, the T2 ensures every detail is captured with unmatched precision.
In the studio or on stage, adaptability is crucial, and the T2 excels with its four switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight, and hypercardioid. This versatility allows you to choose the ideal pattern for isolating sound in complex environments or experimenting with creative mic techniques. Whether you’re isolating a single instrument in a busy room or capturing the natural ambience of a live performance, the T2 adapts effortlessly to your requirements.
Managing dynamic range is straightforward with the T2’s switchable pre-attenuation pads and bass-cut filters. Loud sources like brass instruments or powerful vocals are easily controlled with the -10 or -20 dB pads, preventing clipping and distortion. The low-cut filters, set at 40 and 80 Hz, reduce rumble and proximity effect, ensuring that your recordings remain clean and focused, regardless of how close you are to the sound source.
For those who demand the highest level of precision in stereo recording, the T2 is available as a meticulously matched pair. Each microphone in the pair is rigorously tested and tuned to ensure an almost identical frequency response, making them ideal for stereo recording techniques. Whether you’re capturing the energy of a live performance or the intricacies of a studio session, the T2 matched pair delivers a balanced stereo image that truly brings your recordings to life.
