sE Electronics 4400a Match Pair, Dual Condenser Bundle
The 4400a is the latest in a lineage of mics started 6 years ago with
our sE2200a. Based on the same capsule tuning, but with a dual capsule
to give multi polar pattern function, this mic is a rarity... a true
all-rounder.
It has 4 polar patterns, Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8
and Omni. 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz; 2 pads at 10 and 20dB. The
chassis is small but still manages to house a twin
diaphragm 1' capsule and all the top grade electronics and switches.
This flat, round edged chassis design allow the mic to be used flat onto
a drumhead or guitar cab, or pushed through into the skin of a kick
drum. It is also perfect for sung vocals and voice over work, because
although it's the smallest mic of it's type, it still 'looks' big when
used full face on. It is extremely thin at less than 3/4' and fits
neatly in the palm of your hand.
sE4400a has a unique, black, non-reflective, non-marking, rubberised
finish which is ideal for live stage, theatre, TV and broadcast
applications which require lighting.
Finally, the capsule has been specially tuned after almost 2
years of pre-market tests with professional studios and broadcasters,
to really be something that very few mics can; the true all-rounder.
Vital in professional studio or broadcast applications where an engineer
needs to know he can reach for a mic that will handle any job, and
equally for the home studio user who is on a budget and needs one mic to
suit every occasion. The mic is multi-functional yet uncluttered, the
sound is smooth and flattering and yet, because the capsules are hand
made (like all sE mics) and then individually tuned, it benefits from
lacking the usual hyped top end of most modern mass produced mics from
automated machines.
It comes with a unique shock mount which
allows you to fit the mounted mic into tiny spaces, or invert the shock
clamp to extend the mic fully outside the shock mount for close mic-ing
applications or vocals. It also comes with a full, steel re-enforced,
black aluminium, signature sE flight case.
