sE Electronics Microphone Manual Thank you for purchasing an sE Electronics microphone, which was was hand-built in one of the most advanced microphone manufacturing facilities in China. Designed by a team of extremely experienced engineers and verified by extensive listening tests, each model (with a few application-specific exceptions) utilizes gold-sputtered, ultra-light mylar diaphragms in an advanced capsule design.
sE Electronics Microphone Manual Omnidirectional Omnidirectional mics are pressure-operated devices, which means they respond directly to changes in air pressure. They are equally sensitive in all directions and do not exhibit the proximity bass boost effect inherent in pressure-gradient microphones. Omnidirectional microphones sound very “natural” and are used where there is a need to capture the sound of a room’s acoustics or where there are several musicians or singers performing together.
Using Your Microphone Many models come with a precision-built flexible shock mount to minimize the effect of floor-borne vibrations reaching the microphone through the stand. 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.
Safety Precautions PLEASE READ THESE NOTES CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR MICROPHONE WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include the following: • The power supply (if included with this microphone) contains no user-serviceable parts.
