sE Electronics T2 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Multi-Pattern Studio Condenser Microphone for Detailed Recording

The sE Electronics T2 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional studio and broadcast recording where accuracy, speed, and control matter. Built to handle vocals, speech, and a wide range of instruments, the T2 delivers clean, natural sound even when capturing fast transients or high sound pressure levels. Its multi-pattern design allows engineers to tailor pickup behavior to the source, making it a flexible tool for both project studios and commercial recording environments.

Selectable Polar Patterns for Precise Pickup Control

The T2 offers three user-selectable polar patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, and supercardioid—allowing precise control over how sound is captured. Omnidirectional mode is ideal for room ambience and ensemble recording, cardioid focuses on isolated sources such as vocals and guitar cabinets, and supercardioid provides tighter rejection for live room and close-miking applications. This flexibility makes the T2 suitable for everything from solo voice recording to complex multi-mic setups.

Titanium Capsule Designed for Fast Transient Response

At the core of the T2 is a hand-crafted titanium-sputtered condenser capsule, engineered for exceptional stiffness and speed. Compared to traditional gold-sputtered diaphragms, titanium reacts more quickly to sudden changes in sound pressure, resulting in clearer attack and more accurate transient reproduction. This makes the T2 particularly effective for drums, percussion, piano, plucked strings, and other percussive sources that demand clarity and definition.

High SPL Handling for Loud Sound Sources

The rigid titanium diaphragm allows the T2 to handle extremely high sound pressure levels without distortion. Combined with its selectable pad settings, the microphone performs reliably on loud instruments such as kick drums, snare drums, guitar amplifiers, and brass. Engineers can place the microphone close to the source without sacrificing clarity or risking overload, making it a dependable choice for demanding recording sessions.

Pad and Low-Cut Filters for Cleaner Signals

Integrated pad switches and a low-frequency roll-off filter give users practical control over signal level and low-end content directly at the microphone. The pad reduces input level for loud sources, while the low-cut filter minimizes rumble, plosives, and proximity buildup. These controls help maintain clean recordings at the source, reducing the need for corrective processing later in the signal chain.

Durable Construction with Included Shockmount

The T2 is built using a solid metal chassis based on the proven design of the sE 4400 series, ensuring durability and long-term reliability. A dedicated shockmount is included to isolate the microphone from stand vibration and handling noise. This robust construction and included mounting solution make the T2 well suited for daily studio use and mobile recording rigs alike.
