The sE Electronics T2 is all about versatility — and capturing quick transients. Spec'd with four polar patterns, two highpass filters, and two pre-attenuation pads, the T2 gives you the all-around studio workhorse flexibility of sE's venerable 4400a. But with the inclusion of the handcrafted titanium-sputtered dual-diaphragm capsule from the original sE Titan, the T2 is geared for the fast lane. The stunning immediacy of the T2's transient response and hyper-detailed yet un-hyped high end make it a natural for recordings that capture the visceral impact of percussive sources such as kick drums and tom toms, the velocity of an acoustic piano's hammers, the attack of a guitar or bass, or the punch of hip-hop vocals.
Capture the loudest, most percussive sources with lightning-fast transients
One advantage of solid-state electronics over tubes is speed. In the design of the T2, sE leverages this advantage and optimizes it with a custom handcrafted titanium capsule that maintains clarity in any situation. Stiffer than gold-sputtered capsules, the T2's titanium capsule not only enables unprecedented transient response, but also lets it withstand extremely high sound pressure levels, so you can go ahead and mic up that devastatingly loud drummer, guitar stack, or bass amp without no fear. The T2 will always deliver an accurate performance, no matter the source.
A shockmount as innovative as the mic
It's not often we wax poetic over a shockmount. But the one that comes with the sE T2 is remarkable, indeed. With a flat, rounded-edge design and custom suspension mount, this shockmount allows the mic to be centered within the mount, turned around and used flat against an amp cab, or angled outwards for use inside a kick drum. Best of all, it's small; less than 3/4" thick, it fits right in the palm of your hand. Plus, it's built to take a thrashing on the road. Nicely played, sE!
