WD sE-4100

The SE Electronics SE4100 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional audio recordings. This microphone features the same capsule and sound characteristics as the SE4400 model, but with a fixed cardioid pattern that allows for focused recording from the front while effectively suppressing sound from the rear and sides. The microphone is finished with a durable black surface and includes essential accessories for immediate use. The package includes a shock mount that isolates the microphone from mechanical vibrations and handling noise, as well as a protective carrying case for safe storage and transport. The SE4100 operates as a condenser microphone and requires phantom power, typically 48V, from a compatible audio interface, mixer, or preamp. Its large diaphragm design makes this microphone particularly suitable for capturing detailed vocal performances, acoustic instruments, and studio recordings where precise sound reproduction is crucial. The fixed cardioid pattern makes it an ideal choice for controlled recording environments where isolation from ambient noise and room reflections is beneficial. The microphone measures approximately 20 cm in length with a diameter of 5 cm, and the complete package including accessories weighs around 1.2 kg. This model is the successor to previous large-diaphragm condenser microphones from SE Electronics and represents a continuation of their professional audio equipment line. The microphone connection uses a standard 3-pin XLR configuration for balanced audio output. Users should note that proper microphone technique and appropriate gain staging are essential for achieving optimal recording results with this device.
