The sE M1C Mini is SE's entry level model… a simple, but superb sounding large diaphragm cardioid condenser mic.

It comes packaged in an aluminium flight case with ‘U-shaped’ stand clamp. The Mini takes a very high SPL as standard, so it’s ideal for project studio use, as it can be used for anything from micing guitar cabs to main vocal traks… a great all rounder!

SE Mini M1C

Rating: 9/10

This mic pretty much ended my search for an affordable "vintage" condenser mic. I've used Studio Projects, ADK (nice) and Audio Technica, all of which do okay. The Mini has smooth lows, smokey midrange coloration and a very silky high end, which lends a bit of that "timeless" dimension to a lead vocal or acoustic guitar. Doesn't seem to work as well for layered vocals (backgrounds, etc.)for the same reason I suppose. I definitely wouldn't call it transparent, but it has loads of character. Best money I've spent on a mic in this price range. Pleasantly surprised.

  • HOW TO...RECORD VOCALS

    With the use of a good preamp and the right software, it's possible to get incredible results when you record vocals at home. And even equipment such as the Line 6 Toneport (either the UX1 or UX2) commonly used for guitars, can be a great choice...read on.
