Description

The sE-1a is a basic pencil condenser microphone, with a fixed cardioid capsule. No high-pass filter or pad is supplied.

Reviews are generally positive, although often cite the “value for the money” argument, which has lost some of its impact since the reviews were written (3+ years ago).

The SE Electronics sE1a is also known as: 1A, SE-1A, SE1, SE-1.

The mic was released in 2004.
