Description
Designed with Mr. Rupert Neve, the SE Electronics RN17 Microphone redefines the capabilities of a small-diaphragm condenser. This is the world`s first pencil microphone with a large-scale, hand-wound, ultra-high-performance transformer. The second product of the SE and 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. The RN17 Stereo Pair is factory-matched for the best possible stereo imaging performance and comes complete with a flight case, two shock mounts, and a stereo mounting bar. The Small DiaphragmWith a 15mm diaphragm (the world`s smallest production gold-sputtered diaphragm), the transient response of the RN17 is unparalleled. Such a small capsule reacts extremely quickly and is therefore adept at picking up the most delicate of high-frequency content. The Massive TransformerMade obvious by the unusual chassis shape, the RN17`s transformer is substantially larger than the norm. This full-scale transformer was custom-designed by Rupert Neve specifically for this microphone - and nobody has been designing audio transformers longer (or better) than Rupert Neve. With an audio transformer of this magnitude, the RN17 can put out astonishing clarity across ALL frequencies - not just the highs. The midrange is detailed and forward, the lows are full and accurate, and the whole microphone has a balance and headroom never before achieved with a small-capsule microphone. Custom Shock MountEvery RN17 includes a custom-designed, sturdy, protective, and easy-to-use shock mount, which is essential to reducing the unwanted effects of vibration or knocks to the supporting microphone stand. | SE Electronics Rupert Neve Matched Pair of RN17 Microphone Shock Mounts B57 and Custom Case | Financing Available
