Custom-tuned Kick Drum Mic for Any Stage

Designed for use with kick drums, floor toms, or other large drums where low-frequency energy is critical and SPLs are high, the sE Electronics V Kick is the most compact and versatile bass drum microphone in its class. The V Kick's integrated swivel joint allows flexibility of placement, and its purpose-built DMC7 SP capsule delivers a sonic character specifically tailored for bass drums. This custom-tuned capsule, combined with a durable aluminum housing and an internal shock mount has studio and live sound engineers here at Sweetwater putting the V Kick in rotation for jazz kits, metal kits, and everything in between. Further shaping of the sound is facilitated by two switches on the rear the microphone — letting you swap between Classic and Modern voicing options for the entire microphone or for just the high frequency shelf. From Classic punch to Modern edge, the sE Electronics V Kick delivers the ultimate kick drum sound

sE Electronics V Kick Features:

  • Dynamic microphone designed for low-end drums and high SPL
  • Custom-tuned DMC7 SP capsule designed for low frequency use
  • Internal shock mount keeps the mic profile low, and capsule protected
  • Classic and Modern voicings tailor the mic for different capture requirements
  • Aluminum housing keeps internal electronics protected for setups and teardowns
  • Supercardioid polar pattern provides focused capture range for a variety of drums
  • 20Hz–19kHz frequence range captures the full punch of low end drums

Reviews

Yup!!
Very sweet, play a brand of originals of metal heavy blues. And this mic is amazing. I drop the adjustments both down to modern settings and sounded awesome through the house/mixer PA system. Then I have a personal drum module and Yamaha mixer. The kit is fully triggered (Roland rt30's) and completely mic'd. Run sends in stereo from my mixer out to pair of Alesis 12" drum amps.
Music background: Playing since I was 8 yo old. Currently in band called BlackFly. Been together about 8 years. We have large private studio for rehearsals recording. Play a heavy blues style metal.
SE V KICK mic
Nice Mic with 4 EQ setting options. Works very well in my 22x18 maple shell. This mic is very robust and heavy. It is MUCH heavier in weight compared the AKG D112, and the Audix D6 so beware of that. I bought a On stage quick change mic adapter so I would not have to screw this mic on and off the stand every time I use it. It just clicks on the kick drum mic stand now when I play live shows.
Solid mic
I purchased this mic at my sales engineer's recommendation. It has great sound and options with a classic/modern voicing switch.
Great Kick Mic Concept
This mic is perfect for working with a wide range of kits and styles. The "classic" and "modern" tuning switches have a significant impact on the overall sound, allowing for quick experimentation without having to switch out mics.

Build quality is really solid. Not quite as heavy as a D6, but definitely road worthy.
I’m impressed
I have been using an Audix kick mic for years. I ordered a new kick drum and decided to go with the Kelly shu and a new designated mic (SE V KICK) for the drum. Evens Emad heads on a DW kick, both switches set to modern and this drum sounds AMAZING! Easiest kick I have ever dial in (it sounds great without trying). Exactly the sound I was after! I would have gone with a more traditional mic (Audix or Shure) but took the recommendation from Mac at Sweetwater and after hearing and playing through it I am ver impressed! Thank you Sweetwater!!!
Music background: Gig every weekend and have a studio.
