Classic sound meets modern craftsmanship in its simplest form; sE Electronics proudly introduces the little brother to the renowned sE4400 meet the sE4100 large-diaphragm cardioid true-condenser microphone! With cardioid being the most common polar pattern utilized in both live and studio applications, the sE4100 prioritizes the features you really need, putting the smooth sound character of classic condensers in the palm of your hand.

Featuring the very same handcrafted twin 1 gold-sputtered brass capsule as the sE4400 the sE4100 is a true workhorse that delivers incredible results on a wide array of sources. From vocals to grand pianos and acoustic or brass instruments to electric guitar cabs and drum overheads the sE4100 is outstanding in live environments as a factory matched-pair for overheads or instrument spot mic applications.

Handcrafted with the highest attention to detail, the sE4100 is built with a dent-proof die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches, a rugged spring steel wire mesh grille, and a premium finish. The sE4100 is roadworthy, ready to handle the day-to-day life of touring professionals and years of demanding studio use.
