Microphone sE Electronics VR1

sE Electronics VR1

sE Electronics VR1 is an affordable passive ribbon microphone designed by the CEO of sE Electronics. It performs surprisingly well over a frequency response of 20Hz-18kHz and can be used on a variety of sound sources.

Features of the device

It uses patented electronics and a long aluminum tape transducer to reproduce signals with a wide frequency response and clean detail.

Universal capsule

The capsule has an 8 polar pattern, wide frequency response and detailed audio response.

Frequency response 20Hz-18kHz for full spectrum clarity

Ribbon microphones are known to be incredibly warm in tone and often lack high-end details. But this model breaks down such stereotypes, as its 20Hz to 18kHz frequency range ensures you record everything at ease, making it ideal for acoustic instruments, voices, and even loud electric guitar and bass amps with a high SPL of 135dB. ...

One of the first high frequency ribbon microphones

Before the release of the Voodoo series, the only high frequency ribbon microphone was the RNR1 from sE Electronics, co-developed with Rupert Neve. The industry was turned upside down when the company also released the Voodoo series, claiming that it is practically on par in performance, and thanks to the original circuitry, you can get that full sound for your recording.
