sE Electronics T2 Multi-Pattern Titanium Condenser Microphone

The T2 takes the hand-crafted 1 inch titanium-sputtered capsule and puts four patterns behind it: cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and figure-8. That covers close vocals, mid-side and Blumlein pairs, and room capture from one mic, and the 22 Ohm output impedance drives long cable runs without losing top end.

Switchable 10 and 20 dB attenuation lets it sit in front of a guitar cabinet or a brass bell at up to 157 dB SPL, while the 40 or 80 Hz low-cut handles proximity buildup and stage rumble. Each mic ships in a metal case with a custom shockmount and thread adapter; the matched pair adds a stereo bar.
