HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/se8 Additional Electric Guitar Demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv6d_6o_Bv0 Today i review the sE Electronics sE8, a small diaphragrm condenser which offers a natural sound profile with a supportive low-end open and neutral mids and a slight lift in the treble but overall a very well handled upper frequency range. The mic also has a max SPL of 159db, and a self noise of only 13dBA.
