Designed for drums, guitars, pianos, or indeed, any application requiring a pencil-mic design, the sE Electronics sE7 is a back-electret, small-diaphragm condenser microphone. It sports a cardioid polar pattern. Fashioned from class-A circuitry and utilizing a transformerless output, the microphone captures sound with clarity and neutrality across its frequency response, thus eschewing overly harsh highs and aiding in a pleasurable bottom end. A switchable 20 dB attenuation pad allows you to use this microphone with loud instruments, doing so with a favorable signal-to-noise ratio. A low-cut filter at 80 Hz helps filter out rumble and other unwanted bass issues. Thus, you can use the sE7 in both close and distant miking scenarios. An all-metal chassis provides a robust, roadworthy construction, while gold-plated XLR terminations ensure security in the connecting process. A mic clip and a windscreen are included.
