SE Electronics sE1a

Description

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

The capsule has a 0.75'' (19mm) diaphragm.

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.
