sE Electronics T2

Titanium is significantly stiffer and lighter than gold. This allows the capsule to react faster to transients, resulting in a more precise, detailed sound that is particularly effective for capturing complex sources like percussion or acoustic instruments.

The T2 is engineered for sources that require high-speed transient response and clarity. It excels on drums, percussion, and acoustic instruments where you need to capture sharp attacks without the sound becoming muddy or smeared.

Yes, it is highly versatile. With four switchable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight, and hypercardioid—you can adapt the microphone for everything from close-miking a snare to capturing a room's natural ambiance.

The switchable pads (-10 dB and -20 dB) allow you to record very loud sources, like drums or guitar cabinets, without distorting the microphone's electronics. The bass-cut filters (40 Hz and 80 Hz) help you clean up low-end rumble or proximity effect before the signal even hits your preamp.

The T2 comes with a specialized, low-profile shockmount designed specifically for close-miking applications. It provides the necessary isolation from vibrations while keeping the microphone compact enough to fit into tight spaces around a drum kit.
