The original 2200a has been used by countless artists worldwide, and the updated 2200a II continues the tradition. Multi-pattern version.
sE's best-selling, multiple-award-winning, GRAMMY-singer-recording cardioid mic has been given a facelift and a feature update.
With the same hand-built brass capsule as the original, the Mark II version of this modern classic adds a multi-pattern version, a clever quick-release shockmount with integrated pop filter, and rubberized black paint to dampen any chassis resonances.
THE HAND-CRAFTED CAPSULE
At the heart of the 2200a II is the hand-built, hand-tuned brass capsule that put sE on the map as a serious microphone manufacturer. With a gold-sputtered center-terminated diaphragm (two of these back-to-back on the multi-pattern version), the 2200a II's capsule is built in the same style as the vintage European capsules that have been used and loved for many decades.
Manufactured, assembled, and individually tested in-house by our team of skilled capsule technicians, these capsules are the soul of the 2200a II.
If all you need is a cardioid polar pattern - most vocals will only require this - the 2200a II C is a great choice.
But if you want to experiment with different amounts of room sound, various instruments, or multiple sound sources, the multiple pattern controls of the 2200a II are a valuable asset.
In addition to the standard -10dB setting, the multi pattern 2200a II includes a -20dB setting for additional low-frequency control.
CUSTOM SHOCKMOUNT + CHASSIS
Part of the 2200a II's update can be seen in the clever new quick-release Isolation Pack shockmount. With the twist of a single knob, the mount attaches quickly and securely to the microphone, and is removable with the same simple motion. This allows the mic to be set up quickly and easily - no adjustments, no hassle.
The Isolation Pack also comes equipped with sE's curved metal pop filter, which efficiently slots in to the shockmount and is vertically adjustable for best performance.
As with many of sE's newest models, the 2200a II chassis is finished in a custom black rubberized paint, which helps dampen any chassis resonance as well as keep the mic unobtrusive to an audience or camera, even under bright stage lights.
