sE Electronics sE7 Description
The
sE7 from sE Electronics is built for precision. Its cardioid polar pattern and wide frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz make it highly effective at capturing the detail and dynamics of a wide range of sound sources. Whether you're recording acoustic guitars, strings, cymbals, or even room ambiance, the sE7 excels with minimal self-noise and excellent headroom.
Thanks to its onboard -20 dB pad and 80 Hz low-cut filter, you can tailor the mic's performance to suit high-volume or low-end-heavy environments. Designed with a compact form factor, it easily fits into tight spaces where larger microphones might not.
