Impressive quality and value
sE didn't just design a great-sounding mic — they also included features not even found on small-diaphragm mics costing much more! A 6dB/octave 80Hz highpass filter lets you roll off unwanted mud and rumble, while the 20dB pre-attenuation pad increases the mic's impressive usefulness by letting you mic more raucous sources, like toms, snares, and electric guitar. The sE7's class-leading SPL handling capability and dynamic range ensure that you will capture every nuance of these sources without fear of overload. The high-quality build is typical sE and includes a gold-plated XLR connector for optimal signal integrity over many years of daily use in your studio. The sE7 is such an incredible value, we'd advise you to go for a stereo pair — perfect for drum overheads!
