sE Electronics was founded in Shanghai in 2000 with a mission to build genuinely professional microphones at prices that working musicians and producers could afford. The company’s approach was different from the start — rather than OEM-sourcing components, sE built their own capsules, transformers and housings, hand-tuning each microphone in the old-school tradition that defined the classic mics they were inspired by.

The result is a microphone range that has earned a genuine reputation in professional studios worldwide — the V7 dynamic is the benchmark live vocal microphone in its price range; the sE2200 large-diaphragm condenser is a studio standard for voice and acoustic instruments; the R1 ribbon captures brass, strings and guitar amps with the warmth that only a ribbon can produce.

sE Electronics also invented the original Reflexion Filter — the acoustic shield that wraps around a microphone to eliminate early reflections and room sound, enabling studio-quality recording in any environment. Every bedroom producer who records with a Reflexion Filter is using the original sE concept.
