sE Electronics sE7 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics sE7 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The sE7 is ahigh-quality back-electret small diaphragm condenser microphone intended for awide range of studio and live sound applications, from acoustic guitars topianos to drums and beyond.

With anoptimized acoustic design, discrete class-A circuitry and a transformerlessoutput, it delivers clear, natural sound quality at all frequencies, withoutsuffering from fizzy highs or a lack of low-frequency punch.

The discreteelectronics and the switchable attenuation pad ensure a high dynamic range,with high sound pressure level (SPL) handling capability and extremelylow-noise components. The switchable low-cut filter helps eliminate rumble orfootfall noise, and can also compensate for an excess of bass frequenciescaused by the proximity effect. This enables the sE7 to close-mic manyinstruments including electric guitar speaker cabinets, brass instruments anddrums.

Reliableoperation even in demanding on-stage applications in difficult environments isensured by the roadworthy all-metal design, robust construction, andhigh-quality manufacturing standards.

HIGH-QUALITY CONDENSER CAPSULE
The sE7’sspecialized capsule is designed for natural, balanced sound quality, with anultra-thin diaphragm for excellent transient response. Its cardioid polarpattern also makes it ideal for most studio or stage applications, deliveringgreat sound for almost any source.

THE QUIETEST PENCIL MIC IN ITS CLASS
With a veryshort signal path and state of the art electronics, the sE7 is the quietestmicrophone in its class. The transformerless design ensures pristine soundquality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth.

SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PAD
Theswitchable -20dB attenuation pad prevents overloading your preamp or mixer andprovides extended dynamic range, enabling close-mic techniques for even theloudest sources like brass instruments and snare drums.

SWITCHABLE LOW-CUT FILTER
The integrated80Hz low-cut filter helps to eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise,or to compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mictechniques.

ALL-METAL HOUSING WITH GOLD-PLATED XLRCONNECTOR, PREMIUM FINISH & ACCESSORIES
The sE7’sall-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interferenceand noise, and its high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come,and the corrosion-free gold-plated XLR contacts ensure a loss-free, reliablesignal connection for years and years and years and…

The sE7 alsocomes standard with a custom mic clip that will securely attach it to any micstand via the included thread adapter, plus a windscreen to avoid wind noise.
