The sE Electronics RN17 Omni Capsule is an omnidirectional capsule designed for the RN17 small-diaphragm condenser microphone. With a 17mm diameter and weighing just 23g, it swaps onto the RN17 body to provide 360-degree pickup — ideal for capturing room ambience on drums and pianos, orchestral recording, and any application where you want to capture the full acoustic space rather than a focused directional source.
