The sE Electronics sE7 is a small-diaphragm back-electret condenser microphone designed for both studio and stage use. Its optimized acoustic design, discrete Class A circuitry, and transformerless output work together to deliver clear, natural sound across all frequencies. With a signal path free of ICs and transformers, the sE7 captures a wide range of sources with remarkable clarity — from the subtle nuances of strings, guitars, pianos, and woodwinds to the energetic tones of electric guitars and percussion.
The sE7 includes professional features typically found on world-class microphones. A 6dB/octave 80Hz high-pass filter reduces unwanted low-frequency rumble, while the 20dB pre-attenuation pad allows close-miking of louder sources such as toms, snares, and electric guitars without distortion. With class-leading SPL handling and wide dynamic range, the sE7 captures every performance nuance. Its durable build and gold-plated XLR connector ensure reliable signal integrity for years of repeated use in any studio or live setting.
The sE7 sideFire is a variant of the sE7 high-quality back-electret small-diaphragm condenser microphone, designed for a wide range of studio and live sound applications. From acoustic guitars and pianos to drums and percussion, the rotated 90° side-address capsule allows for precise close-miking in tight spaces without compromising sound quality.
The sE7 sideFire’s specialized capsule delivers natural, balanced sound with an ultra-thin diaphragm for excellent transient response. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures versatile use in both studio and stage environments, while the 90° side-address design allows for even more flexibility in tight spaces.
With a short signal path and state-of-the-art transformerless electronics, the sE7 sideFire is one of the quietest microphones in its class. It reproduces instruments with pristine clarity, depth, and exceptional detail.
The -20dB pre-attenuation pad prevents overloading your preamp or mixer and extends dynamic range, making it easy to mic even the loudest sources such as brass instruments and snare drums.
The integrated 80Hz low-cut filter eliminates low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, and compensates for proximity effect during close-mic applications.
The sE7 sideFire’s all-metal chassis provides excellent rejection of electrical interference and noise. Its premium finish ensures a professional look for years, while the gold-plated XLR connector guarantees reliable, loss-free signal transmission for demanding studio and stage use.
