Description
Small Diaphragm Condenser Instrument Microphone
The sE Rupert Neve RN17 - Designed and Built by sE and Mr. Rupert Neve
The sE RN17 is our latest addition to the new sE Rupert Neve range of mics. Using a custom designed, hand wound, transformer this is the world's first pencil mic with a large scale, ultra high performance, transformer.
Combined with a newly developed 17mm capsule from sE, the world's smallest production gold sputtered Mylar capsule, the result is truly magnificent. The definition and detail from the capsule is incredible, made more so by the headroom afforded by the Rupert Neve transformer. The combined effect is one of exceptional clarity, with a wonderfully silky finish.
The mic ships with a Cardioid capsule, in a beautiful wooden presentation case, and with 5 canisters to hold the Cardioid capsule shipped with the mic, and further Supercardioid, Omni, Hypercardioid and Figure of 8 capsules which are available to purchase separately. The whole system is then packaged in our top-of-the range signature series flight-case with a custom shock mount.
The sE RN17 is the ultimate in pencil mic perfection... ideal for all instrument micing applications. This amazing mic, like the sE Rupert Neve RNR1 ribbon, is set to change the way you record forever.
