Cardioid Version of the Renowned sE4400
The sE Electronics sE4400 multi-pattern mics have become ubiquitous studio workhorses around the globe, including at Sweetwater Studios. Now, sE Electronics has introduced a cardioid-only version of this revered mic in the form of the sE4100-U. The 4100-U features the sophisticated design and rich sound as its “big brother,” plus the same handcrafted 1-inch true condenser capsule and a Mylar diaphragm (both gold-sputtered). The sE 4100-U’s 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range also makes it ideal for a variety of sources, including drum overheads, guitar cabs, and much more, and this matched pair bundle makes for even more utility. Lastly, the sE Electronics 4100-U sports a couple of excellent source-shaping capabilities, namely a selectable 80/160Hz low-cut filter and -10/-20dB pad.

Featuring the same handcrafted 1-inch gold-sputtered true condenser capsule as the sE4400, the sE4100-U lends its own warm, musical character to any sound source. It also retains a gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm and an innovative shockmount that doesn’t get in the way of close-miking your sources while also keeping the mic firmly secure. Finally, this mic's all-metal housing means that it handles mishaps with ease — you'll even find it capable of being taken out of the studio and onto the road.
