DENT-RESISTANT METAL HOUSING & SUPERIOR FINISH

CUSTOM SHOCKMOUNT + VERSATILE DESIGN

The SE4400’s flat, round-edged chassis design, and custom suspension mount offer flexibility, allowing the mic to be centered within the shockmount, used flat against a drum head or guitar cab, or angled outwards and pushed inside a kick drum. Its slim profile, less than 3/4″ thick, ensures portability without sacrificing durability.

SWITCHABLE ATTENUATION PAD & BASS-CUT FILTER

Tailor your recordings with ease using the two pre-attenuation pads, which extend the dynamic range and accommodate louder sources. Additionally, the two low-cut filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble and proximity effect, adapting to various recording techniques.

NON-REFLECTIVE FINISH

The SE4400 features a distinctive black, non-reflective, non-marking, rubberized finish, making it an ideal choice for live stage, theatre, TV, and broadcast applications that require controlled lighting.
