SE Electronics RN17 Rupert Neve Small Diaphragm Instrument Microphone

The RN17 is the world's first pencil microphone with a large scale, hand wound, ultra high performance transformer. The definition and detail from the capsule is incredible, made more so by the headroom afforded by the Rupert Neve 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 combined effect is one of exceptional clarity, with a wonderfully silky finish.

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. The sERN17 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 packaged in a signature series flight-case with a custom shock mount.
