SE Electronics sE2200a II C Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

This Microphone sounds great and has a nice look to the mic itself. I use this mic for voice and sounds much better for me then the EV-320 that it replaced. The only con is the ugly shock mount with the big nob on the bottom. This mic should of been made with threads so it could be used with more mounts. I had to modify a threaded shock mount to fit as the SE mount. Not only is the shock mount ugly but looks undersized for the mic. The shock mount does work fine, but did I mention how ugly it is? I give the mic 5 stars still as I seen the shock mount in pics and planed to replace it. SE Electronics, I would recommend making a shock mount that looks as good as the mic sounds, and out of metal not plastic. The pop filter is also ugly and lets a lot of air past it. The filter also changes the sound of the voice drastically. A good filter and shock mount and this mic will sound and look like a four digit priced setup.

It's not often that I review a product to be honest with you. But I really have to give it to SE for creating a microphone that is quality and does exactly what it should. I am very pleased with the microphone and I have nothing to b$()$ about. This microphone is acceptable in every sense of the word. It's not super expensive but you get an expensive result in sound. I'm never buying another microphone ever again and if this one breaks which new flash.. this thing is built like a tank (no plastic garbage) and is hand crafted i'll only buy this same microphone again. The sound is so... on point unlike pretty much all over mics. Get the d349 mic.. you'll be really happy you did.

So far I really like this mic, but I'm still getting a lot of white noise hence the four star rating. I'm sure it's mostly my fault, I don't have the best set up or programs and I'm still getting used to the mic and trying to optimize it for the programs I use. Still the audio is crisp and nice when I'm speaking. I would recommend this product for sure! It does come with a pop filter, or wind screen, or whatever you want to call it, but it's not great and I'd recommend buying a better one. The mic is a bit loose in the frame it comes with though which I really don't like!

I'm not much of a audiophile, but I needed a good microphone and this one is great! I use it with a Focusrite 2i2 and it's awesome for my needs of video's and music. :D

After doing literally 4 or 5 hours of research, I decided to go with this microphone. A couple of websites had this listed as one of the top mics or the top mic anywhere around this price range, and even ranked it over familiar companies and industry standard mics. I'll save you some time - the mic they gave me doesn't work. There is no pickup, meaning that no matter how loud i scream or turn up the gain, this mic won't pick it up. Tested it at my house, a friend's house, and a music store, all to no avail. While at the music store, they plugged my mic into their setup, switched the board over to condenser settings (otherwise it wouldn't work regardless), and nothing was heard other than a humming like it was waiting on me to say something. They unplugged it and threw in an $80 mic with the exact same setup and it rang through the store immediately. This $300 mic got beat by an $80 mic... Look, i know it's possible that i got the one bad one out of a batch of however many, but 300 bucks is 300 bucks. i can't return it because i built my setup 1 piece at a time over 3-4 months, with this mic being the first piece. It's past the return period which i understand, but it doesn't work. Tried to set up a return or exchange because this thing sounds like it's awesome and i want a working one, but the dealer (not amazon) will not respond. Lastly, just to cover my bases, yes the rest of my setup is legit, no i didn't poorly handle the mic (it left the box only during testing), mic never got wet or hit with static electricity, all cables hooked up are correct, phantom power was the required 48v, etc. If you read all of this, I thank you for your time. i can't say it's a bad mic because i never got to see it in action, just make sure you can test it right away and make sure amazon handles everything as the dealer is very slow to answer, if at all...

I don't believe there is a better mic for the money available today. You are getting a lot of quality for not a lot of money. A good quality mic is one of the most important pieces of equipment you need and this is the fastest way to get it without spending a small fortune.

What a miraculous Microphone... I already own 2 AKG P420 High-Performance Dual-Capsule True Condenser Microphone, but this King overthrew them all and take charge of me and my studio. Nigerian Artists expectially Wizkid is in trouble it is time i blow the music industry with this charming MIC.

I did a test was this and an SM58. The tone and clarity of this eS2200a 2 C is incredible. I guess that's to be expected when comparing these two but I'm still really happy with how it sounds. The pop filter it comes with makes the plosives sound like you're blowing through a comb. I prefer a fabric pop filter.

schönes mikro von SE! stylische Aufmachung, leicht zu montieren verwendung definitiv eher fürs Studio und Professionelle Zwecke als den Privaten Gebraucht nur 4 Sterne weil man es nicht per USB verbinden kann

This microphone is an amazing piece of audio equipment. The clarity and crispness this microphone provides is astonishing! Even in areas where you may have heightened background noise for whatever reason, the SE 2200A MKII C almost completely removes that. The bass response is amazing, as someone with a low voice who does voice over work, this mic is amazing. Not much editing is needed to make this microphone sound top notch, because frankly, it already does! Possibly add some noise removal, EQ and you have one of the clearest, richest, deepest, heart-felt microphones you can buy for under £300! If you do YouTube or advertisements, there's a -10db switch to flick, in-case you end up clipping the audio. As with anything there are some cons to this microphone, but not many! Here they are: Cons: The weight and size, this microphone is about 9 inches long, and weighs quite a bit! Make sure your boom arm can support it. The pop filter and shock mount provided seem cheap. Now these are included free, so I can't really complain, however the shock mount is made from plastic, and the pop filter doesn't do the best job at neutralizing plosives (The burst of air you get from b and p words) So I'd recommend buying a separate pop filter and shock mount. But for beginners? It does the job fine. The mic requires phantom power. This isn't so much a con as it is a warning. Most XLR microphones nowadays require 48V Phantom Power, so buying an interface such as the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 would be fantastic as that comes with Phantom Power and is generally a fantastic interface! Overall this microphone is fantastic bang for your buck! I'd give it 9.5/10 easily! Possibly the best studio condenser microphone out there for under £300, rivals Neumann microphones worth thousands!

Excellente qualité, très bon son, on sent que c'est du solide. La construction est très bonne. Seul petit hic pour moi, c'est que le micro ne tient pas très droit dans le support, il est légèrement penché, je ne sais pas d'où ça vient, mais malgré cela, j'en suis très satisfait. Je l'ai acheté pour faire de la voix off et la reproduction sonore et en particulier le grand spectre de fréquences me ravissent.

Il prodotto è quello giusto arrivato nella scatola originale completo di ragno e parasputi. Qualità audio veramente elevata senza nessun difetto
