The SE Electronics RN17 Capsule for Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone. The frequency response and polar pattern are the same as the standard cardioid capsule, but with an integrated bass cut to gently roll off low frequencies beginning at 100Hz.

The Small Diaphragm

With a 15mm diaphragm, the transient response of the RN17 is unparalleled.

Such a small capsule reacts extremely quickly and is therefore adept at picking up the most delicate of high-frequency content.

The Massive Transformer

With an audio transformer of this magnitude, the RN17 is able to put out astonishing clarity across ALL frequencies – not just the highs. The midrange is detailed and forward, the lows are full and accurate, and the whole microphone has a balance and headroom never before achieved with a small-capsule microphone.

Custom Shock Mount

Every RN17 includes a custom-designed, sturdy, protective, and easy-to-use shock mount, which is essential to reducing the unwanted effects of vibration or knocks to the supporting microphone stand.
