sE1a

Building on the incredibly popular sE1, the sE1a retains the same capsule but combines this with all new, super-quiet electronics, all housed in a superbly restyled chassis.

This end-fire small diaphragm condenser microphone really is astonishing value for money.

Don't just take our word for it.


SOS “The sE1a is a ridiculously inexpensive mic by professional standards, but it certainly doesn’t look or feel cheap in any way Would I recommend that you buy an se1A for recording instruments? The honest answer has to be no… you’d be mad not to buy a pair at this price!”


PAR “I absolutely loved them, and have used them as my overheads ever since. On acoustic guitar, they are very open-sounding… I placed one on the neck, and one on the body, just above the sound hole, and those two different sounds combined together were great.


Resolution “the SE1a and SE2a are useful tools that represent terrific value for money.”
