The sE Electronics SE8 cardioid microphone capsule implements a sophisticated backplate design that provides a perfectly balanced sound, so it's never harsh or aggressive -- perfect for sources like high-hats and drum overheads.

How to Swap Capsules

sE Electronics produces multiple capsules for the sE8 form factor. To change the sE8 capsule, turn it counterclockwise until you are able to remove it. Place the desired capsule onto the preamplifier base, and rotate it clockwise until tight. Do not over-tighten. All SE8 capsules maintain the exceptional features of the sE8's internal electronics, i.e. low noise, two low-cut filters, and two attenuation pads.
