Unlike stationary rack gear, the Universal Audio SOLO/610 can be conveniently used in the control room or recording room, on stage or desktop, due to its portable "go anywhere" design.

Functionally lean but sonically mean, the Universal Audio SOLO 610 was carefully created to maintain all of the character of its vintage predecessor, and has the same solid build and audiophile components professionals expect from its more expensive UA siblings like the 2-610 and M610.

The SOLO/610 offers Mic and DI inputs, and features Gain and Level control for a wide variety of clean to colored tonal shaping. Unlike its predecessors, the Universal Audio SOLO/610 has continuous a Gain control with even greater range, allowing for more precise gain structuring and doubles as input signal padding.

The sE Electronics 4400a inherits its dual capsule's design from the highly succesful sE2200a. With 4 polar patterns (Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8 and Omni), 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz, and 2 pads at 10 and 20dB, this mic does a good job in every recording situation.

The small chassis of the sE Electronics 4400a houses the twin diaphragm 1” capsule and all the top grade electronics and switches. The flat, round edged chassis design allows the mic to be used very close proximity to a drumhead or guitar cab, or even inside a kick drum. The sE Electronics 4400a is also perfect for sung vocals and voice over work, because although it’s the smallest mic of it’s type, it still ‘looks’ big when used full face on.

The sE Electronics 4400a mic is extremely thin at less than 3/4” and fits neatly in the palm of your hand. Featuring a unique, black, non-reflective, non-marking, rubberised finish, this professional microphone is ideal for live stage, theatre, TV and broadcast applications which require lighting.

The capsule of the sE Electronics 4400a has been specially tuned after almost 2 years of pre-market tests with professional studios and broadcasters, to really be something that very few mics can; the true all-rounder. Being truly versatile is vital in professional studio or broadcast applications where an engineer needs to know he can reach for a mic that will handle any job, and equally important for the budget conscious home studio user who needs one mic to suit every occasion.

The sE Electronics 4400a mic is multi-functional yet uncluttered, the sound is smooth and flattering and yet, because the capsules (like all sE mics) are hand made and individually tuned, this mic benefits from lacking the usual hyped top end of most modern mass produced mics, manufactured by automated machines.

The sE Electronics 4400a microphone comes with a unique shock mount which allows you to fit the mounted mic into tiny spaces, or invert the shock clamp to extend the mic fully outside the shock mount for close mic-ing applications or vocals. It also comes with a full, steel re-enforced, black aluminium, signature sE flight case.

sE Electronics 4400a main features include:

• Polar patterns: Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8 and Omni
• 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz
• 2 pads at 10 and 20dB
• Small size makes it the ideal choice for many applications
• Specially tuned twin diaphragm 1” capsule
• Perfect all-in-one solution for professional users as well as home studios
• Shock mount and aluminium flight case included
