The sE Electronics V8 MC1 Black is a premium dynamic microphone capsule designed for compatible Shure wireless systems. Built for vocals, speech, broadcasting, and podcasting, it combines the newly developed DMCV8 capsule with a highly focused supercardioid pickup pattern for clear vocal reproduction, excellent isolation, and strong gain-before-feedback.
The sE Electronics V8 MC1 Black brings the performance principles of the acclaimed V8 platform to compatible Shure wireless systems. Its newly developed DMCV8 dynamic capsule is engineered to capture vocals with high clarity and natural detail while maintaining an open, balanced character suited to professional live performance and spoken-word applications.
A highly focused supercardioid polar pattern helps isolate the performer from surrounding stage sound, reducing unwanted off-axis pickup and supporting high gain-before-feedback. This focused response makes the capsule especially useful in loud live environments where vocal definition, monitor rejection, and controlled stage bleed are important.
The capsule provides a frequency response of 25 Hz–21,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 4.1 mV/Pa (-47.7 dBV). Its neodymium magnet and aluminum voice coil support its dynamic performance, while the 1,300-ohm electrical impedance is designed for its intended wireless-system application.
For demanding professional use, the V8 MC1 Black combines a rugged all-metal housing with a durable spring-steel mesh grille. A patented integrated shock mount helps reduce handling noise and mechanical vibration while protecting the capsule, and the sleek Matte Black finish keeps its appearance understated on stage. A gold-plated connector completes the design with a durable, corrosion-resistant connection.
