V Kick
The V Kick is one of the most compact and versatile bass drum microphones available. Its integrated swivel joint puts the capsule exactly where you want it, and it's voiced specifically for bass drums. Two rear-mounted switches let you dial in the character further. From classic punch to modern edge, the V Kick delivers the kick drum sound you need in any music genre.
V Beat
The V Beat is among the most compact drum mics in its class, purpose-built for snares and toms of any size. Its capsule delivers a natural, detailed sound with impressive off-axis rejection, keeping bleed from nearby drums and cymbals in check. The ultra-compact design and parallel XLR connector keep the footprint minimal, while the rock-solid swivel mount lets you precisely dial in placement. Pairing it with sE's V Clamp makes it even easier to position quickly.
V Clamp
The V Clamp is a fast, compact drum mic mounting system designed as the ideal companion to the V Beat, though it's compatible with most popular mics. Its rugged elastic clamp lets you set up or tear down in seconds, and its durable construction can withstand years of hard touring. A single knob adjusts height and rotation, so dialing in your mic position takes no time at all.
V7 X
The V7 X is a supercardioid dynamic instrument mic built for the stage, with detailed highs, deep, clear lows, and the durability to take whatever the gig throws its way. Its specialized aluminum voice coil captures instruments, like your snare drum, with precision, while the supercardioid polar pattern delivers strong isolation from stage noise and copious amounts of gain before feedback. An integrated shockmount eliminates rumble, and an internal windscreen handles wind noise without fuss. Housed in a zinc alloy chassis with a beveled spring steel mesh grille, the V7 X is built to last.
sE8
The sE8's gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted in the company's clean room and built around an innovative back-plate design that delivers a detailed, balanced sound with superior transient response. The high end is extended and open, so you can push high-frequency EQ without introducing harshness or smearing transients. A short, efficient signal path with no ICs or transformers keeps the sound remarkably natural and transparent, making the sE8 an exceptional choice for overhead miking and for acoustic instruments, like guitar, piano, strings, and woodwinds. And, with impressively low self-noise, this sE8 pair is as quiet as it is revealing.
