  • Diaphragm: 2.5 aluminium ribbonFrequency Response: 20Hz-18kHzSensitivity: 1.6mV/Pa -56 1.5dBPolar Pattern: Figure 8Impedance: 300 OhmsEquivalent Noise Level: 17dB (A weighted)Max SPL for 0.5% THD@1000Hz: 135dBConnector: 3-pin XLR.
  •  Until the Voodoo Series, one of the only ribbon mics in the world to perform across 20Hz-20kHz was sE's own Rupert Neve collaboration, the RNR1.
  • This was achieved using state-of-the-art custom transformers and a Rupert Neve-designed circuit to reveal HF usually absent.
  • With the Voodoo mics, full frequency response is achieved using a clever mechanical device designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO, and a hand-tensioned ribbon constructed by highly specialized technicians in sE's capsule room.
  •  The result is a superbly detailed, open and natural recording of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs.
