SE Electronics Microphone Manual Thank you for purchasing this SE Electronics microphone, which was hand built in one of the most advanced microphone manufacturing facilities in China.

Using Your sE USB2200a Microphone All sE mics come complete with a precision-built flexible shock mounting system to minimise the effect of floor-borne vibrations reaching the microphone through the stand. In the case of the USB2200a this shock system is pre-attached to the mic itself in the form of a ‘C’ shaped cradle. When recording vocals at close range, you should use an external mesh pop screen to prevent low frequency thumps caused by air expelled from the mouth on certain syllables.
