A Great-sounding Mic with Tons of Flexibility!

The sE Electronics sE2200a II multipattern condenser microphone builds on the wide success of the original sE2200a cardioid microphone design, bringing you the same award-winning sound but with vastly increased flexibility. This amazing workhorse microphone is ready to record just about anything you can throw at it. From the subtle dynamics of a bowed viola to the extreme high SPL of a full guitar tube amplifier stack, the impressive sE2200a II will give you the sound quality and detail your music demands. Get your sE Electronics sE2200a II multi-pattern condenser mic from Sweetwater!

sE Electronics sE2200a II Multipattern Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
  • Double the diaphragms, triple the polar patterns
  • Low-noise operation meets high-headroom SPL handling
  • Onboard options give you even more flexibility

Double the diaphragms, triple the polar patterns
Here's something you don't normally see in an affordable multipattern condenser microphone: a pair of hand-crafted diaphragms. In true traditional condenser microphone fashion, the sE Electronics sE2200a II actually uses a pair of identical 1" gold-sputtered diaphragms to shape its polar patterns, providing you with three fully distinct polar patterns. This makes the sE2200a II an ideal condenser microphone for virtually any recording situation, allowing you to get the response and sound isolation you need, no matter what environment you're in.

Low-noise operation meets high-headroom SPL handling
When it comes to capturing dynamic content, not all studio-style condenser mics are made equal. In fact, the same mic that sounds great on your amp stack may be a bit too noisy to use on acoustic guitar, and your favorite vocal mic may not be able to handle the SPLs required by drum overheads. Not so with sE Electronics' sE2200a II condenser microphone. That's because sE Electronics built the sE2200a II to be able to withstand epic dB levels, while maintaining a super-low noise floor - just what you need to capture softer and more detailed sounds.

Onboard options give you even more flexibility
Talk about a studio workhorse mic - the sE Electronics sE2200a II was built to handle just about any sound you can imagine. Not only is it naturally able to keep up with extremely dynamic sound sources, such as vocals and brass instruments, but it gives you both a highpass filter and a 10dB pad to further shape its response. Whether you need to cut out low-end rumble or back off the gain to capture a screaming amp stack, the sE Electronics sE2200a II gives you the sonic flexibility you need.

sE Electronics sE2200a II Multipattern Condenser Microphone Features:
  • An amazing multipattern condenser microphone that's perfect for anything from vocals to drum overheads
  • Based on sE Electronics award winning sE2200a cardioid condenser microphone
  • Dual hand-crafted 1" gold-sputtered condenser capsules let you select from cardioid, figure 8, and omnidirectional polar patterns
  • Highpass filter and 10dB pad give you advanced sound-shaping options onboard
  • Extremely low noise and high SPL handling provides you with an extended dynamic range
  • Finished in a custom black rubber paint, which looks cool and dampens chassis resonance

Get amazing sound and superior flexibility from an sE Electronics sE2200a II multipattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone!

This is a great upgrade from my RØDE NT1. Nice clarity. I am very pleased. Great for a home studio.

As a bonus the metal pop filter that comes with it is much clearer than the foam pop filter I was using before. close [-]

I seriously doubt you're going to find another mic with this quality for under $400. I was looking at an AT4050, but couldn't really justify the $700 price tag for my little home studio. Luke with S... read more [+]weetwater recommended the sE2200a II. I decided to give it a shot and man was I pleased. My previous mic was a R0DE NT-1. I recorded some new vocals on a track I had already be recording. The difference was amazing. Much more clarity. Also the metal pop filter that was included with mine seems to work much better than the fabric mesh type. If you are looking for a home studio mic that doesn't break the bank, you just found it. Thanks again Luke. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Derek Senestraro
I just got an sE Electronics sE2200a II and was comparing it several others I own, and I was very impressed! A lot more character and less "highs" than other similarly priced mics. I was running it through a basic interface preamp and sounded good - can't wait to give it a whirl through my LA610 soon!
