Piano Mics - sE Electronics

PIANO

The piano: one of the largest and most complex instruments to record. Great piano mics hear deep within this magnificent instrument, capturing the intricacies of each struck note, from air to floor.

● BASIC

Serious sound at an affordable price.

The X1 A (cardioid)

"The X1 A can convince you of its balanced frequency response, rich bass, unobtrusive yet present mids, as well as gentle highs...undoubtedly worth every cent of its low purchase price."

- Carsten Kaiser, Bonedo.de

sE8

“Sounds like a wickedly expensive high-end microphone...”

"The sound leaves no wish unanswered in any application."

- Planet Music & Media

sE2200

"...it has a fairly natural sound but is capable of flattery, insomuch as it adds a little low-end warmth while keeping the highs sounding sweet."

- Paul White, Sound On Sound

● ● ADVANCED

The next step up for clarity and performance.

VR2

Call (866) 540-1616

"The VR mics immediately reveal their extended HF range, especially when placed alongside other ribbon mics. In fact they would stand out less in among a set of condensers."

- Robbie Stamp, Future Music / Music Radar

4400a

“Having used the sE4400a's for the piano parts on Coldplay’s latest album I wish I’d had them on piano duty for the previous record too."

- Rik Simpson, Producer (Coldplay, Jay-Z, Portishead)

● ● ● PRO

The best sound that money can buy.

"Close mic’ing a 9 ft grand piano with a stereo pair of RN17s showed the mic’s superb imaging and large, natural sound...for featured piano music, especially classical or jazz, this mic will become a standard."

- Adam Kagan, Tape Op Magazine

The RNR1

"My favorite ribbon mic in the entire world...A pair of those on a Steinway is about as good as it gets. They have that lovely extension on the top end that normal ribbons don’t have, but still have all the characteristics that I love."

- Simon Franglen, Composer / Producer / Musician ('Avatar', 'Titanic', 'Skyfall') - sE Artist
