Precise Cardioid Pattern
Swapping out the multipattern design of the sE4400 for the cardioid capture of the sE4100 offers improved off-axis rejection and a more affordable mic without sacrificing sound quality.
- Minimizes signal bleed from unwanted sources, especially helpful in untreated spaces
- Ensures high gain before feedback across the whole frequency range
- Enhances directivity from the source by preventing coloration from indirect reflections and reverb
Switchable Attenuation Pad
The sE4100 sports the same pad with metal switches found on the sE4400, providing:
- An extended dynamic range, up to 148 dB
- Greater range of applications due to wider SPL resistance
- Support for close miking of loud sources such as electric guitars, brass instruments, and kick drums
Switchable Low-Cut Filter
The improved high-pass filter on the sE4100 changes values to 80 and 160 Hz for improved versatility. With the high-pass filter, you can eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise. It also helps compensate for excessive bass when using close-miking techniques.
Handmade Metal Housing with Premium Finish
- Road worthy die-cast housing and solid spring-steel grille for a robust build
- Efficient rejection of electromagnetic interference and noise
- Premium finish ensures an eye-catching look for many years of regular use
- Handmade by sE Electronics engineers
- Rigorously tested and tuned in house for excellent quality control
