Rupert Neve and sE Electronics have teamed up to design a large-diaphragm microphone. In what looks to be an all-out assault on the state of the art, the RNT incorporates a high-voltage tube circuit within the microphone body, a separate power supply with a discrete Class A amplifier circuit with the same custom op-amps as Rupert Neve Designs’ flagship 5088 mixing desk, two of Rupert’s custom transformers, and a custom sE mic capsule that delivers impressive high-bandwidth frequency response (+/- 2dB from <1Hz to 100kHz) and headroom (153dB). The floor box gives you three gain settings and a 3-position highpass filter. A 9-way switch varies the polar pattern from omni to cardioid to figure-8, with several steps in between each setting.
