Coldwater Studio Wins an Award for the First Project Mixed on its Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Console "We pushed the console to its limits, I think," says Brown, a musician, engineer and producer who has worked with Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan on a variety of projects over the last 20 years.

"We pretty much went crazy with it right from when we got it and did our first mix in 5.1. And we won an award for it! A big part of that mix was done old school -- we didn't use automation and used all the analog components and outboard gear that we have in the studio with the board." More>>>

sE Logo The New sE4400a and matched sE4400a stereo pair

The 4400a is the latest in a lineage of mics started 6 years ago with our sE2200a. Based on the same capsule tuning, but with a dual capsule to give multi polar pattern function, this mic is a rarity… a true all-rounder.

It has 4 polar patterns, Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8 and Omni. 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz; 2 pads at 10 and 20dB. The chassis is small… very small, but still manages to house a twin diaphragm 1” capsule and all the top grade electronics and switches. This flat, round edged chassis design allow the mic to be used flat onto a drumhead or guitar cab, or pushed through into the skin of a kick drum. It is also perfect for sung vocals and voice over work, because although it’s the smallest mic of it’s type, it still ‘looks’ big when used full face on. It is extremely thin at less than 3/4” and fits neatly in the palm of your hand. More >>>

sE4 sE4 – the sE4 replaces the sE3 and sE3 pair

sE4 – the sE4 replaces the sE3 and sE3 pair this. 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.

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 will be available, and the packaging has also been updated with sE’s new hi spec black Aluminium, steel reinforced, flight cases. All sE4 packages ship with full suspension shock mounts included.
