SE Electronic Microphones....

[jono not bono]

Does anyone here use or have tried any SE Electronics Microphones...

I bought an SE 2200a a little while back and for the money its been absolutely out standing...

Welcome to sE Electronics

I've been thinking about buying a matching pair for use with over heads on drum kits and was wondering if anyone here has thought or done the same or at least uses anything by SE?


I mean truly, for the money, I have only ever experienced good things from the company.

Thanks for your time

Sounds like you've found something you like.

I have 3 SE-1's that I really like. Someone I knew was able to get them cheaply ($80 ea) and I went for it. These are very small condensers, with no frills, but the signal is very alive and full of tones that I'm not getting with my other mics. So with a little eq, they're great. I'm using them on acoustic instruments.

The SE3 are quite a bit better than the SE1, but I haven't tried their replacement the SE4 yet.

They are decent mics all around but I've never been impressed with the construction quality especially with the accessories.
Had a shockmount break for a 2200a, the stereo bar gets stuck and requires pliers to remove from a stand, and the handle broke off one of the hard cases.
These mics haven't even left the store! Just used for in store demos and in our studio.

Oh, I guess you've ben unlucky. I've been lucky and after using my mic and taking it all over the place with me, no damage has happened in anyway.

Never mind huh....Its not like it cost alot of money, and the sound is wicked for that price.
