The sE Electronics RN17 Rupert Neve, Matched Pair is a stereo matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones complete with a stereo mounting bar for capturing immersive recordings. The RN17 is a game-changer for professionals demanding precision and clarity in small-diaphragm condensers. Engineered in collaboration with the legendary Rupert Neve, this microphone sets new standards with its 15mm gold-sputtered diaphragm, capturing delicate high-frequency content like never before.
Revolutionary clarity
The RN17's heart lies in its groundbreaking 15mm diaphragm—the smallest gold-sputtered diaphragm in production. This not only allows for a swift transient response but also ensures the capture of subtle high-frequency details with astonishing clarity. Coupled with a transformer designed by Rupert Neve, the microphone delivers a sonic purity that brings every nuance of the sound to life, making it perfect for capturing everything from the softest whisper of a choir to the vibrant tones of a piano.
Designed by a legend
When Rupert Neve lends his expertise to a project, excellence is a given. The RN17's transformer isn't just any component; it's a bespoke creation by Neve himself, designed to elevate the microphone's performance beyond conventional boundaries. This full-scale transformer ensures that the RN17 offers a balanced sound across all frequencies, providing users with a level of headroom previously unattainable in small-capsule microphones.
Flexibility in recording
Not just a one-trick pony, the RN17 comes standard with a cardioid capsule but also offers the option to use an omnidirectional capsule, making it a versatile tool in any recording scenario. Whether it's capturing the broad soundscape of an orchestra or the intimate nuances of a solo performance, the RN17 adapts to meet the needs of professional recording environments.
Unobtrusive and effective
The RN17's matte black finish ensures that it remains discreet, blending seamlessly into the background, whether on stage or in the studio. This, combined with its custom-designed shock mount, guarantees that vibrations or accidental knocks don't compromise the recording quality. The result is a pristine, clear sound that lets the true character of the performance shine through.
Reviews
"They've got a really elegant, smooth brightness to them. Not overly so...crystal clarity, but they've also got this forgiving warmth too." - Simon Rhodes - Recordist / Mixer (Spectre, Skyfall, Grand Budapest Hotel)
"Using the RN17 on acoustic guitars again today - what a revelation. Makes me want to go back and re-record every acoustic guitar I've recorded since 1988." - Brad Wood - Producer / Engineer (Pete Yorn, Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins)
"The RN17 has become my desert island microphone. If there was one microphone I knew I could take with me that would get me out of trouble, it's this...The clarity and the detail I get is wonderful, especially for one of the things I do a lot of, which is sampling - this is a perfect sampling microphone, because it has that reality that you need, with low noise, but it also has just a little bit of extra something." - Simon Franglen - Grammy award-winning Composer / Producer (Avatar, Titanic, Skyfall)
