SE Electronics Icis Valve Condenser Microphone

Description : 06 Jan, 2024

Great mic, good condition. Sought after and rarely for sale. The following is from a Sound on Sound review:

SE Electronics' Icis microphone is one of pany's new range of models and seems to be aimed both at the professional user and the more serious project-studio owner. Although priced above the budget 'me too' market, this cardioid-pattern mic is still very attractively priced in the UK for such a well-specified and solidly engineered tube microphone. It has a distinctive domed grille housing a 1.07-inch capsule featuring a gold-sputtered, edge-terminated diaphragm, and plete with a massively constructed shockmount that reminds me somewhat of the Deep Space Nine space station! This shockmount has a heavy metal sleeve at its core, and the Icis fits neatly into this, secured by a chunky locking ring at the bottom of the mic. You need to fasten the shockmount's swivel nut tightly to prevent drooping, as bination of mic and shockmount is pretty weighty, but once secure everything seems to stay put.

Also included is the necessary power supply and cable, all contained in a hard camera-style case — the mic has its own hardwood case that fits inside the camera case. The cable attaching to the mic uses an eight-pin locking military-grade connector, while the signal output from the PSU box is a conventional balanced three-pin XLR. There are no pad or filter switches either on the mic or on the PSU, though there is a recessed mains voltage switch to select 230V or 110V operation. es in on a standard IEC mains lead, and there's a mains switch on the PSU. As the mic has its own power supply, it doesn't need phantom power.

In conclusion, I think SE have got this design about right, as it delivers a sound reminiscent of classic mics but without sounding hyped, forced, or aggressive. It manages bine smoothness with detail and responds well to EQ when needed. Noise was never a problem, though users without a low-cut filter switch on their desk or preamp might miss not having one on the mic. Having said that, if you use a nice mic like this one with a cheapo mixer or preamp that doesn't have the requisite functions, you're probably not going to do it justice anyway. So, if you're in the market for a properly designed tube mic that can deliver the goods and look impressive without costing silly money, you owe it to yourself to add the SE Icis to your list of 'must try' mics.
