sE Electronics T1 – Titanium-Diaphragm Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The sE T1 blends refined engineering and rugged craftsmanship into a high-performance studio condenser. With its 1″ titanium-sputtered diaphragm, ultra-low noise, and massive 157 dB SPL handling (with pad), it’s ideal for everything from vocals and acoustic instruments to drums and brass.

Key Features

• 1″ titanium-sputtered diaphragm: Stiffer and lighter than gold, offering superior transient response and sensitivity
• Fixed cardioid polar pattern: Excellent off-axis rejection to reduce bleed and ambient reflections
• Low self-noise (≈ 9 dBA): Ultra-quiet operation for clean, detailed captures
• High SPL capability of 157 dB (with pad): Can handle very loud sources without distortion
• Switchable pad (0 / –10 / –20 dB): Protects against overload on loud instruments or close miking
• Switchable low-cut (flat / 80 Hz / 160 Hz): Helps reduce rumble, footfall noise, or excess proximity bass
• Handmade die-cast body & steel grille: Durable, roadworthy construction built to last

Customer Benefits

The T1 gives you a versatile, studio-grade condenser mic with broad capability and minimal compromise. It captures delicate vocals and soft instruments with finesse, yet can hold its ground on drums, guitar amps, or brass. The onboard pad and filter let you adapt instantly without swapping mics.
