User Manual - EN

Thank Y ou

We would like to thank you cordially for choosing this sE / Rupert Neve microphone! This manual

contains some important instructions for setting up and operating your new equipment. Please take

a few minutes to read the instructions below carefully. We hope you will enjoy working with it as

much as we enjoyed designing and building it for you.

Most Sincerely,

Your sE Team

Brief Description

The RNT is the third microphone in the collaboration between sE Electronics and Rupert Neve

Designs, founded by the legendary audio designer Mr. Rupert Neve. Much like the RNR1 Active

Ribbon and RN17 Small-Diaphragm Condenser, the RNT is something truly special, developed over

several years of careful listening and measurement by Mr. Rupert Neve, Mr. Siwei Zou, and the

engineering teams from both Rupert Neve Designs and sE Electronics. All in all, the RNT brings the

larger-than-life sounds of classic tube mics into the modern age with greater depth and clarity than

ever before.

The RNT utilizes fully discrete, Class-A electronics throughout both of its active stages. The first

stage is tube-based, with hand-selected, low-noise 12AU7 tube within the microphone chassisa ,

and implementing a custom-built Rupert Neve Designs output transformer. The second stage is

within the floor box – which also controls polar pattern, filter and gain switching – and is built around

the same custom op-amps used in Rupert Neve Designs’ flagship 5088 recording console, known

worldwide for its unrivaled transparency and headroom. This second stage is also coupled with a

second custom-made Rupert Neve Designs output transformer.

The custom handcrafted large diaphragm true condenser capsule is sE’s finest capsule yet, born

from years of rigorous testing and listening, and developed and constructed by hand in sE’s own

factory. The Class-A electronics and switchable gain ensure a massive dynamic range, with high

sound pressure level (SPL) handling capability and extremely low-noise components, and the

switchable low-cut filters eliminate rumble or footfall noise, and can also compensate for an excess

of bass frequencies caused by the proximity effect. This enables the RNT to close-mic many

instruments including electric guitar speaker cabinets, brass instruments and drums. Lastly, the 9-

position polar pattern switch allows for omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight pickup patterns -

and several positions in between each for precise tailoring of the balance between direct and –

ambient sound when recording with the RNT.

Reliable operation is ensured by the sturdy all-metal design, robust construction, and high-quality

manufacturing standards. A high-quality metal case is also included.

What’s in the box

Your packaging should contain the follow items. If anything is missing, please contact your sE

Electronics dealer and let them know.

• RNT microphone

• Custom shock-mount

• RNT Floor Box (Power Supply)

• 8-pin cable (to connect mic to floor box)

• IEC power cable

Controls

The RNT floor box features a switch for the attenuation pads, a switch for the low-cut filters, and a

switch for the polar pattern selection.

Gain Switch

The Gain Switch is located in the center of the floor box’s front panel. When

switched in, the incoming signal is either boosted (top position) or attenuated

(bottom position) by 12dB, using custom Rupert Neve Designs op-amps to

compensate for very loud or very quiet sound sources. Using the switch also helps

prevent overloading the input stage of recording interfaces, mixing desks and

microphone preamp s.

HPF FREQ Switch

The HPF FREQ Switch is located on the left side of the floor box’s front panel, and

inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz (top position) or 40Hz (bottom position). The

switch’s center position removes the lter for a flat frequency response. Wind noise,

plosives, footfall noise or rumble might affect the recorded signal, so enabling the

low-cut filters reduces such unwanted noise and prevents distortion. Additionally,

the low-cut filters also minimize the proximity effect when recording sound sources

at a very short distance.

Pattern Switch

The 9-position is located on the Pattern Switch right side of the floor box’s

front panel, and allows the RNT’s polar pattern to be changed from

omnidirectional to cardioid to figure-eight, with three additional steps between

each noted setting. This allows for great control over the balance between

direct and ambient sound.

Powering

The included floor box contains the outboard power supply for the RNT. No phantom power is

required from an interface or microphone preamplifier.

Before powering on, connect all required cables (IEC to power, XLR to preamplifier or interface, and

8-pin cable from floor box to microphone). Then turn the power on via the switch on the back of the

RNT floor box.

For best performance, we recommend allowing approximately 15 minutes of “warm up” time before

recording. This allows the tube within the RNT to heat up and stabilize, and reduces the risk of

unwanted noise or distortion on your recordings.

Risk of damage

Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than the

included RNT power supply. Do not apply phantom voltage (+48VDC) from

an external interface or preamplifier. This is the only way to ensure safe and

reliable operation.
