Hey Guys,
While this is far from a definitive guide my primary goal was to put the line of SE Microphones through the paces which has been an interesting experience. My knowledge of these mics has come down via the grapevine and a few articles/reviews I'd read and took them up on their loan programme to take a listen.
All the tracks were recorded into Logic 7 via a Focusrite Octopre into a MOTU 896HD . We set all the mics up on their own stands, matched the gains as best we could and I stood the same distance away from each mic as I spoke at a conversational volume into each one.
All the mics were set to cardiod patterns (most were cardioid in nature from the get go) with no low cuts or pads engaged. Once the files we down they were each normalized for consistency.
I reserve any comments, at least for now, but would like to hear your thoughts.
All files are uncompressed Wav files at 44.1KHZ and 16bit and each file is just under or over 500kb.
