Capture every crack of a drum with absolute clarity with the T2 from sE Electronics, a multipattern large-diaphragm condenser mic with a titanium diaphragm for a stiff response that is ideal for capturing transients. Presented here in a matched pair, the T2 is an ideal choice for drum overheads, piano, and upright bass recording.

The T2 sports four selectable pickup patterns—omnidirectional, bidirectional, cardioid, and hypercardioid—allowing it to adapt to nearly any recording scenario. Its versatility is further buoyed by a switchable 40 or 80 Hz low-cut filter to eliminate unwanted subsonic rumbles, and a -10 or -20 dB pad to handle extra-hot signals, providing an impressive max SPL handling of up to 157 dB. The T2 includes two custom shockmounts designed for easier close miking, two thread adapters, a stereo mounting bar, and a metallic case.
