sE Electronics RN17 Rupert Neve Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone ไมโครโฟนคอนเดนเซอร์

Designed with Mr. Rupert Neve, the RN17 redefines the capabilities of an SDC.

This is the world’s first pencil microphone with a large-scale, hand-wound, ultra high performance transformer.

The second product of the sE / Rupert Neve collaboration, work on the RN17 began with a discussion between Rupert and Siwei Zou on the merits and problems of small-diaphragm condensers.

According to Siwei, “The SDC’s problem is that they have a very clear sound – the SPL is high, but the sound is very cold, not like with a large diaphragm. The quality of the transformer can make the sound much, much better – but with a small transformer, nobody can do it.”

“Rupert told me, ‘I want THIS transformer.’ I said, ‘That transformer is too big. This is a small-capsule microphone. Impossible.’ He said, ‘I want the impossible to be possible.'”
