OmnidirectionalCardioidHypercardioidSE Electronics sE4

Detachable-Capsule Pencil Condenser Microphone

The sE4 is a detachable-capsule small-diaphragm pencil condenser supplied with a cardioid capsule. A set of omni and hypercardioid capsules can be purchased separately.

The sE4 is identical in sound and circuitry to the sE3; the differences are in packaging and in the sE4’s ability to mount different capsules on the preamp body.

Current production models feature a switchable 3-way pad (0dB, -10dB, -20dB).

The frequency plot published by the manufacturer is well-smoothed and flat from 50 Hz to 5kHz, dropping to -4dB at 20 Hz and with a pronounced presence bump, +4dB at 11kHz.

The mic includes a shockmount and an aluminum flight case.

The SE Electronics sE4 is also known as: se-4.
