USER MANUAL sE8 SE Electronics
We would like to thank you cordially for choosing this sE microphone! This manual contains some important instructions for setting up and operating your new equipment. Please take a few minutes to read the instructions below carefully. We hope you will enjoy working with it as much as we enjoyed designing and building it for you.

Brief Description
The sE8 is a high-quality small diaphragm condenser microphone intended for a wide range of studio and live sound applications, from acoustic guitars to pianos to drums and beyond. Thanks to its custom design, hand-crafted true condenser capsule, and transformerless output, it delivers pristine sound quality and an even, well-balanced frequency response.
The electronics and the switchable attenuation pads ensure a high dynamic range, with high sound pressure level (SPL) handling capability and extremely low-noise components. The switchable low-cut filters eliminate rumble or footfall noise, and can also compensate for an excess of bass frequencies caused by the proximity effect. This enables the sE8 to close-mic many instruments including electric guitar speaker cabinets, brass instruments and drums.
Reliable operation even in demanding on-stage applications in difficult environments is ensured by the roadworthy all-metal design, robust construction, and high-quality manufacturing standards.

Controls
The sE8 features a switch for the attenuation pads and a switch for the low-cutfilters.
Attenuation Switch
The Attenuation Switch is located on the upper back side of the microphone. When switched on, the incoming signal is reduced by either 10 or 20dB for capturing of loud instruments and/or close-miking without distortion. Using the switch also helps prevent overloading the input stage of recording interfaces, mixing desks and microphone preamps.
Low-Cut Switch
The Low-Cut Switch is located on the front-right side of the microphone, and inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz (top position) or 160Hz (bottom position). The switch's center position removes the filter for a flat frequency response. Wind noise, plosives, footfall noise or rumble might affect the recorded signal, so enabling the low-cut filters reduces such unwanted noise and prevents distortion. Additionally, the low-cut filters also minimize the proximity effect when recording sound sources at a very short distance.
Powering
To ensure proper operation, the microphone requires a phantom power source providing 48 Volts according to IEC 61938.
Risk of damage
Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a phantom power source (input with phantom power or external IEC standard phantom power supply) with a floating connector, using a balanced cable with studio grade connectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is the only way to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Safety and maintenance
Risk of damage
Please make sure that the piece of equipment to which your microphone will be connected fulfils the safety regulations enforced in your country and is fitted with a ground lead.
Cleaning the microphone
After every use, clean the microphone with a dry, soft cloth tissue and store it in a solid case or a zipper pouch.
