SE Electronics T1 Large Diaphragm Mic Cardioid Pattern w/Titanium Capsule

The T1 is a large-diaphragm cardioid true-condenser microphone from sE Electronics and the fixed-cardioid sibling to the multi-pattern T2. Its 1" titanium-sputtered capsule delivers fast transient response for drums, cymbals, upright bass, piano, and other sources that benefit from accurate attack capture.

With low self-noise, up to 157 dB max SPL with pad engaged, and switchable 80 / 160 Hz low-cut filters, the T1 handles whisper-quiet and extremely loud sources. The dent-proof handmade metal housing, metal switches, and included shockmount are built for years of intensive studio and stage use.
