The SE Electronics RN17 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone that SE Electronics designed with the Legendary Rupert Neve. The collaboration birthed the worlds first pencil microphone with its large-scale feature and ultra high performance transformers that have been wound by hand; with the results are proven to be incredible. Its 17mm capsule tied along with the world’s smallest production gold Mylar capsule, results in a microphone that not only sounds great, but also looks stunning in its design.

The SE Electronics RN17a comes in a wooden case for easy transportation, including 5 capsules to hold the cardioid capsule shipped with the mic and also features a custom shock-mount equipped within a flight-case. The RN17 can also be available as a stereo pair, with an additional purchase.
