sE Electronics sE/Neve RNT Tube Condenser Microphone Multipattern

The sE/Neve RNT is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone, developed by sE Electronics together with Rupert Neve. The microphone features a handmade 1" true condenser capsule from the sE factory, two Class-A amplifier stages, and a 12AU7/ECC82 tube selected for its low noise level.

You can choose the pickup pattern from nine settings: omni, cardioid, and figure-eight, with three intermediate settings in between. This allows you to adjust the balance between direct sound and room ambience. It also features a gain switch (-12, 0, or +12 dB) and a low-cut filter at 40 or 80 Hz. The microphone connects to a separate power supply unit with an XLR output.
