sE Electronics 4400a Multipattern Condenser Microphone
The sE Electronics 4400a Multipattern Condenser Microphone consists of a vintage-style brass capsule, two bass cuts, two pads, and four polar patterns. Also included in the box is a fantastic shockmount that can adapt to any recording scenario. The 4400a is considered by some as a modern day AKG 414. Dark sounding, neutral, but with a slight lift in the highs. The 4400a was used to record the piano in Coldplay’s latest album. The 4400a is also a great ‘all-rounder’ – it’ll sound great on pretty much anything.

sE Electronics 4400a PRODUCT FEATURES:
VINTAGE VERSATILITY AT ITS FINEST
Given the practically cult status of these vintage mics, sE saw an opportunity, and from that arose the 4400a. Now these classics are obtainable – hand-made brass capsule, four-polar-pattern-versatility and all. And like the classics, the 4400a sounds great on everything. Vocals, guitars, toms, overheads, classical pianos, strings, you name it. Its tonal versatility is practically unmatched.
HAND-CRAFTED CAPSULES
As with all sE mics, the 4400a’s back-to-back brass-ringed capsules are hand-built and hand-tuned by our skilled technicians, just like any fine musical instrument.
CUSTOM SHOCKMOUNT + CHASSIS
The flat, round-edged chassis design and custom suspension mount allow the mic to be centered within the shock, flipped around and used flat against a drum head or guitar cab, or angled outwards and pushed through inside of a kick drum. And at less than 3/4″ thick, it fits neatly in the palm of your hand, but is built to take a beating on the road.
NON-REFLECTIVE PAINT
The mic has a unique, black, non-reflective, non-marking, rubberized finish which is ideal for live stage, theatre, TV and broadcast applications which require lighting.
