Features

Integrated DYNAMITE preamp for a powerful signal

The SE Electronics DynaCaster integrates the renowned DYNAMITE circuit directly into the microphone. When activated, it provides up to 30 dB of extra gain. Your voice becomes more present and easier to record, even with modest audio interfaces. Ideal for podcasting, streaming or spoken word.

Active or passive operation depending on your configuration

Use the DYNAMITE I/O switch to select the operating mode. In active mode, the preamp operates with phantom power to boost the signal. In passive mode, the microphone operates as a conventional dynamic microphone without external power supply.

DMC8 capsule designed for vocals

The DMC8 capsule delivers clear, detailed vocal reproduction. It enhances sensitivity while reducing background noise. The result is precise capture, ideal for broadcast applications such as podcasting, radio or streaming.

Internal vibration absorption system

The patented shock-absorbing system is integrated directly into the microphone. It reduces vibration and mechanical noise without the need for external suspension. Your installation remains simple, compact and clean on the desk or on a microphone arm.

Integrated sound adjustments

Three recessed switches on the back of the microphone let you adjust the tone to suit your voice or environment. You can easily adapt the sound without complex software processing.

Clean installation for streaming and video

The XLR plug is integrated into the microphone's mounting point. The cable remains unobtrusive and the mic's profile is more compact, which is particularly practical for video setups, streaming or filmed podcasts.

Integrated, easy-to-clean pop filter

The internal three-layer pop filter effectively limits plosives. It can be removed for cleaning. An external windscreen is also supplied for extra protection against blasts.

Versatile for voice and music

Although optimized for speech, the SE Electronics DynaCaster also works for vocals, acoustic instruments or guitar amps. Built-in settings make it easy to adapt the tone to suit the application.
