Product Description:

Unleash the magic of sound with the sE Electronics Rupert Neve RNT Tube Condenser Microphone. This state-of-the-art microphone is the result of a sensational collaboration between sE Electronics and the legendary electronics designer, Rupert Neve.

The RNT is no ordinary microphone. It comprises a high-voltage tube circuit embedded within the microphone body, complemented by a separate power supply featuring a discrete Class A amplifier circuit. This unique combination is equipped with the same custom op-amps as Rupert Neve Designs’ flagship 5088 mixing desk, and two of Rupert’s custom transformers.

This microphone is designed to deliver staggeringly high-bandwidth frequency response and incredible headroom, thanks to the custom sE mic capsule. The Floor Box, acting as the power supply, provides three gain settings and two switchable active highpass filters. A 9-way switch allows you to vary the polar pattern from omni to cardioid to figure-8, with three steps in between each setting.

With the RNT microphone, you are in for a sonic treat that brings out the best in your recordings, turning your studio into a realm of clear, dimensional, and larger-than-life sounds.

Critic Reviews

sE Electronics RNT

soundonsound.com

sE Electronics and Rupert Neve have crafted a beautifully detailed, multi-pattern condenser microphone that excels in capturing vocals with clarity and richness. The RNT impresses with its extensive polar pattern options and a solid, high-quality build, making it versatile for various recording scenarios. However, its bright tonal character may not suit every artist's preference, and its high price could be a barrier for some. While it may lack the distinctive coloration of vintage mics, it still delivers a polished sound that can elevate any recording project. Overall, the RNT is a strong contender in the high-end mic market but requires careful consideration for those seeking a specific sonic signature.

First Listen: sE Electronics & Rupert Neve Designs RNT Microphone - Vintage King

sE Electronics and Rupert Neve’s RNT tube condenser mic shines with its versatile polar patterns and exceptional sound quality. Its Class-A circuitry and low noise floor deliver a wide dynamic range, excelling in vocals and acoustic instruments alike. The bright, detailed high-frequency response enhances recordings without becoming harsh. However, some users may find the gain staging tricky, as it can lead to unintended saturation. While the price tag of $3,249 may deter budget-conscious musicians, the RNT is a worthy investment for those seeking a professional-grade mic that stands out in any studio setup. Overall, it’s an impressive addition to any mic locker, though it may require a learning curve to harness its full potential.

My Favorite Tube Condenser Microphone

This microphone has a very full and mid forwards sound. It's not as harsh or brittle as some other tube mics I've used, and it adds a really nice warmth and depth to my recordings. I find that it works great for cutting through heavy rock and pop mixes. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with the RNT microphone.
