Frequently Asked Questions

No, it's specifically designed for the sE8 microphone body; it won't fit other models.
While not as adjustable as high-end options, it offers a natural and pleasing stereo width, suitable for most recording applications.
Cardioid patterns reject sounds from the rear, which can be a benefit for direct recording, but requires careful mic placement to avoid proximity effect.
