sE Electronics sE4 - Manual

sE4a – Technical Information
The sE4 replaces the sE3. The mic is a remodelled sE3, designed to sound and perform exactly the same,
and with very similar styling, but with one key new feature. The chassis has been re-engineered to accept
2 additional interchangeable capsules, a Hypercardioid and an Omni.
Please note: The sE4 mic comes with the Cardioid capsule as standard. The Hypercardioid and Omni cap-
sule set is available as an additional purchase for both single and matched stereo pair sE4 mics.
The sE4 has been renamed, despite its similarity to the existing sE3, to avoid confusion, since the new
capsules will NOT fit on the current sE3 model. Both single and matched pairs of mic and capsule sets are
available, and the packaging has also been updated with sE’s new hi spec black Aluminium, steel rein-
forced, flight cases. All sE4 packages ship with full suspension shock mounts included.
