Product Description

sE Electronics continue their strong bond with industry legend Rupert Neve to bring us the RNT Tube Mic.

The RNT is a gorgeous tube condensor microphone that takes inspiration from the classic microphones of the past to create a flagship microphone with amazing depth and quality. Utilising the immense experience of the Rupert Neve Designs Team in the UK, sE Electronics have designed a dream microphone with a dual diaphragm capsule to create the perfect setting for every application.

The RNT uses a hand-crafted, complex condensor capsule, developed over several years of critcal listening, mesurement and experimentation to reach the final mic itself. The RNT utilizes fully discrete, Class-A electronics throughout both of its active stages so that you have fantastic headroom and a wide dynamic range. The first stage is tube-based, with a hand-selected, low-noise ECC82 tube within the microphone chassis, and implementing a custom-built Rupert Neve Designs output transformer. The second stage is within the floor box – which also controls polar pattern, filter and gain switching – and is built around the same custom op-amps used in Rupert Neve Designs’ flagship 5088 recording console, known worldwide for its unrivaled transparency and headroom. This second stage is also coupled with a second custom-made Rupert Neve Designs output transformer.

Here's what sE Electronics say about the RNT Microphone

The RNT is the third microphone in the collaboration between sE Electronics and Rupert Neve Designs, founded by the legendary audio designer Mr. Rupert Neve. Much like the RNR1 Active Ribbon and RN17 Small-Diaphragm Condenser, the RNT is something truly special, developed over several years of careful listening and measurement by Mr. Rupert Neve, Mr. Siwei Zou, and the engineering teams from both Rupert Neve Designs and sE Electronics. All in all, this new flagship tube microphone brings the larger-than-life sounds of classic studio microphones into the modern age with greater depth and clarity than ever before.
