Build a precisely matched stereo setup with the focused pickup and isolation of the sE8 platform. The sE Electronics sE8 Supercardioid capsule factory-matched pair is designed for compatible sE8 microphone preamp bodies, providing two carefully selected true-condenser capsules with closely matched performance and sensitivity. Each capsule combines a tightly controlled supercardioid pattern with a thin gold-sputtered diaphragm and precision electrode for natural reproduction, fast transient response and strong off-axis rejection. From stereo drum and percussion setups to acoustic guitar, orchestral instruments and other sources, the pair provides a practical way to expand an existing sE8 system for stereo recording where accurate localization and controlled bleed are important.

Factory Matching Supports Precise Stereo Capture

Each pair is selected from hundreds of individual capsules to achieve high consistency and close correlation across the frequency range, helping preserve accurate placement and a convincing three-dimensional stereo image. The supercardioid patterns concentrate sensitivity toward the intended sources while providing strong rejection of off-axis sound, helping create cleaner separation around drum kits, ensembles and other crowded recording setups. Each capsule is also hand-crafted and individually tuned at sE Electronics' factory, combining a lightweight gold-sputtered diaphragm with a precision electrode for linear response and detailed transient capture.

Expand Your sE8 System With a Matched Supercardioid Pair

The interchangeable design lets engineers add matched supercardioid capability to two compatible sE8 preamp bodies without purchasing another pair of complete microphones, making it easy to adapt an existing setup for focused stereo recording. Each capsule measures just 0.9" x 0.9" and weighs 1.1 oz, maintaining the compact footprint needed for precise positioning around instruments and complex recording setups. The sE Electronics sE8 Supercardioid capsule factory-matched pair includes two capsules, an sE logo sticker and user manual; compatible sE8 preamp bodies are required for operation.
