Vintage Condenser Microphone for Large Diaphragm Cardioid

The sE4100 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid True-Condenser Microphone: A Masterful Blend of Classic Sound and Modern Craftsmanship

In its purest, simplest form, the sE4100 large-diaphragm cardioid true-condenser microphone seamlessly unites classic sound with modern craftsmanship. Proudly introduced as the little brother to the renowned sE4400, the sE4100 is a true workhorse that delivers incredible results across a wide array of sources.

Cardioid, the most widely used polar pattern in both live and studio applications, is the primary focus of the sE4100. By prioritizing the features you truly need, this microphone places the smooth, captivating sound character of classic condensers right at your fingertips. Featuring the same handcrafted, twin 1" gold-sputtered brass capsule as the esteemed sE4400, the sE4100 excels in capturing the nuances of vocals, grand pianos, acoustic or brass instruments, electric guitar cabs, and drum overheads – both in live environments and demanding studio settings.

Handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, the sE4100 is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its dent-proof, all-metal die-cast housing, metal switches, rugged spring steel wire mesh grille, and premium finish make it roadworthy and ready to handle the challenges of touring and long-term studio work.

The sE4100's integrated attenuation pads and low-cut filters provide the necessary extended dynamic range and roll-offs to tame loud sources, effectively controlling excessive low-frequency rumble or proximity effect. This ensures high gain-before-feedback across the entire frequency spectrum, allowing you to dial in your sound precisely at the source.

In its most basic form, the sE4100 is a cardioid-only variant of the acclaimed sE4400. No frills, no LEDs, no plastic switches – just the essential features you need to capture exceptional sound. This minimalist approach allows the sE4100 to excel at reducing signal bleed from unwanted sources, making it an outstanding choice for live and studio applications alike.

Ultimately, the sE4100 is the one microphone that does it all. With its classic sound and modern craftsmanship, it brings the smooth, captivating character of timeless condensers into the palm of your hand, offering a versatile and reliable tool for musicians, engineers, and audio professionals alike.
