Introducing the sE4100 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid True-Condenser Microphone
Our newest microphone, the sE Electronics SE4100 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone, is a testament to the perfect fusion of classic sound with modern design. As the little brother to the renowned sE4400, the sE4100 boasts the same handcrafted twin 1” gold-sputtered brass capsule, making it a true workhorse that delivers fantastic results across a wide range of sources.

It prioritizes features that matter, delivering the smooth sound character of classic condensers in a compact design that fits right in your hand. It is perfect for recording vocals, grand pianos, acoustic or brass instruments, electric guitar cabs, and drum overheads.

Crafted with the highest attention to detail, the sE4100 is made with a dent-proof die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches, a rugged spring steel wire mesh grille, and a premium finish that is built to last. It is roadworthy and can handle the day-to-day life of touring professionals, as well as years of demanding studio use.

The sE4100 features integrated attenuation pads and low-cut filters, making it easy to compensate for loud sources and tame excessive low-frequency rumble or proximity effect. This provides the necessary extended dynamic range and roll-offs needed to dial in your sound at the source.

In summary, the sE4100 is a cardioid version of the sE4400, prioritizing the necessary features while retaining the smooth sound character of classic condensers. It's perfect for both live and studio settings, and its compact size and durable design make it a go-to choose for touring professionals.
