SE Electronics Z5600a II

The Z5600a II is one of the most versatile microphones available on the market today. With 9 graduated pattern steps ranging from omni, cardioid to figure-8, the 10dB pad and bass cut, Z5600a II is pefect for multiple applications, from drum kit miking to choir overheads. When tried with vocal part recording, it even becomes sensational in its results, especially when compared to the microphone's certainly not prohibitive cost. 1.07- diaphragm with skockmount and deluxe flightcase.

sE - Sound Engineering - is universally regarded as one of the 'top brands' in the studio microphone industry, with a well-established international reputation, suffice it to say that in its albeit short history it has already become the number one brand in Britain and with the fastest increase in popularity in Europe.
