INSIDE THE SE7




  • HIGH-QUALITY CONDENSER CAPSULE: The sE7’s specialized capsule is designed for natural, balanced sound quality, with an ultra-thin diaphragm for excellent transient response. Its cardioid polar pattern also makes it ideal for most studio or stage applications, delivering great sound for almost any source.


  • THE QUIETEST PENCIL MIC IN ITS CLASS: With a very short signal path and state-of-the-art electronics, the sE7 is the quietest microphone in its class. The transformerless design ensures pristine sound quality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth.


  • SWITCHABLE PRE-ATTENUATION PAD: The switchable -20dB attenuation pad prevents overloading your preamp or mixer and provides extended dynamic range, enabling close-mic techniques for even the loudest sources like brass instruments and snare drums.


  • SWITCHABLE LOW-CUT FILTER: The integrated 80Hz low-cut filter helps to eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, or to compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.


  • BUILT LIKE A TANK: The sE7’s all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise, and its high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come, and the gold-plated XLR connector ensures a loss-free, reliable signal for years of demanding use.
