Woodwinds Mics - sE Electronics
WOODWINDS
Woodwinds are delicate, and require a microphone that appreciates and translates their delicacy. A poor mic choice can render them thin, nasal, or harsh, but a great mic can make a soloist truly come alive on a recording.
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 (full review of the sE2200a II)
VR2
"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
The RN17
"The RN17 has become my desert island microphone. If there was one microphone I knew I could take with me that would get me out of trouble, it’s this...The clarity and the detail I get is wonderful."
- Simon Franglen, GRAMMY®-winning Composer / Producer / Musician ('Avatar', 'Titanic', 'Skyfall') - sE Artist
The RNR1
"The RNR1 was fantastic. I used it on solo ethnic winds, which can be really tinny and one-dimensional with the wrong mic. But the RNR1 sounded fantastic - three-dimensional and huge. I had to do nothing but light compression in the mix. No EQ."
- Chris Fogel, Scoring Engineer ('The Wolf of Wall Street', 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', 'Old School') - sE Artist
