The RNT represents the pinnacle of modern microphone engineering, combining legendary audio craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create sounds that surpass even the most revered classic studio microphones. This flagship tube microphone is the third collaboration between sE Electronics and Rupert Neve Designs, the company founded by the iconic audio designer Mr. Rupert Neve, bringing larger-than-life studio sounds into today’s recording environment with unprecedented depth and clarity.
At its core, the RNT features a sophisticated two-stage design that maximises both warmth and precision. The first stage utilises a carefully hand-selected, low-noise ECC82 tube housed within the microphone chassis, paired with a custom-built Rupert Neve Designs output transformer that ensures optimal signal integrity from the very first stage of amplification.
The second stage builds upon this foundation with the same custom op-amps found in Rupert Neve Designs’ acclaimed 5088 recording console, a desk renowned globally for its exceptional transparency and impressive headroom. This dual-stage approach creates a microphone that captures the character and musicality of vintage tube designs while maintaining the clarity and detail demanded by contemporary recording standards.
