Versatile Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

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.

High-End Features for Working Musicians

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.
