The sE8 Matched Pair packages two factory-matched sE8 small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones with everything you need for stereo recording. Each mic uses a hand-crafted, gold-sputtered capsule and transformerless Class-A electronics for a transparent, natural sound with detailed transients. Hand-selected in pairs for consistent response, they suit drum overheads, acoustic instruments, ensembles, and quiet studio sources alike.
