Its focused shotgun pickup pattern helps capture a desired source while reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This makes the pair well suited to audience ambience for in-ear-monitor mixes, concert recording, dialogue, and spot-miking applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach sE6160 uses a hand-crafted small-diaphragm true condenser capsule with a gold-sputtered diaphragm. The microphone is designed for a natural, controlled sound character with low equivalent noise and strong off-axis rejection. As a matched pair, the two microphones provide a consistent option for stereo and ambient recording setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sE6160 provides practical control for changing recording conditions. Its switchable attenuation pad offers 0 dB, -10 dB, and -20 dB settings for high-level sources, while the selectable low-cut filter provides 80 Hz and 160 Hz positions to help reduce rumble, footfall noise, and excess low-frequency buildup. With the -20 dB pad engaged, each microphone is rated to handle up to 157 dB SPL at 0.5% THD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA supercardioid\/lobar shotgun pattern gives the sE6160 a narrow, forward-focused pickup area. This can help improve gain before feedback in live environments and reduce unwanted bleed when working around PA systems, stage noise, or nearby instruments. The transformerless output and 3-pin XLR connection support integration with standard professional microphone inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matched-pair package gives engineers two compact microphones for spaced, stereo, or dual-ambient placement. Each microphone requires 48 V phantom power and connects to an XLR-equipped mixer, preamp, recorder, or audio interface. Included clips, thread adapters, windscreens, and a soft case help support transport and practical setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory-Matched Pair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two sE6160 microphones selected as a matched set for consistent stereo and ambient capture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShotgun Polar Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supercardioid\/lobar directionality focuses on the front while reducing off-axis sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Condenser Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-crafted small-diaphragm capsule uses a gold-sputtered diaphragm for detailed capture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable Attenuation Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select 0 dB, -10 dB, or -20 dB operation for sources with different sound-pressure levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Low-Cut Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 Hz and 160 Hz filter positions help manage rumble and excessive bass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional XLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-pin male XLR connections work with phantom-powered mic preamps, mixers, and recorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach microphone has a roadworthy die-cast metal housing and a compact 19.6 mm diameter by 250 mm length format. At 110 g per microphone, the sE6160 is light enough for many boom, stand, and mobile-recording applications. Its all-metal construction also provides a durable platform for routine stage, studio, and location use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect each microphone with a balanced XLR microphone cable to a mixer, recorder, or audio interface that supplies 48 V phantom power in accordance with IEC 61938. Use the included microphone clips and thread adapters to mount the pair on compatible stands, stereo bars, or boom hardware. Start with the pad and low-cut switches centered, then select attenuation or low-cut settings when the source level or low-frequency noise calls for them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sE Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669447958598,"sku":"sE6160(P)","price":989.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/91Ed3GUZhAL.jpg?v=1784504139","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/se-electronics-se6160p-matched-pair-shotgun-microphones","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
