Its cardioid pattern focuses on the intended source while helping reduce pickup from the sides and rear. It is suited to acoustic guitar, piano, strings, woodwinds, drums, percussion, and cymbal overhead applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1\/2-inch back-electret condenser capsule and ultra-thin diaphragm support fast transient response for material with sharp attacks and subtle detail. The microphone is designed to provide a natural, balanced presentation across its 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range. Its compact pencil-style format makes placement practical in tight recording positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sE7 uses discrete Class-A circuitry and a transformerless output stage. This design supports a short signal path and a clear, controlled signal for microphone preamps, mixers, and audio interfaces. With 19 mV\/Pa sensitivity and 16 dB equivalent noise, it is equipped for close and more distant instrument miking duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor loud sources, the switchable -20 dB attenuation pad raises maximum SPL handling from 136 dB SPL to 156 dB SPL. This helps when placing the microphone near drums, brass instruments, or guitar speaker cabinets. A switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter can reduce rumble, footfall noise, wind noise, and excess low-frequency buildup from close placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sE7 fits easily into a recording setup that uses standard balanced XLR microphone connections and 48V phantom power. It can be used as a single spot microphone or paired with another sE7 for stereo recording techniques. The included mic clip with thread adapter and windscreen provide the basic accessories needed to begin setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid Pickup Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses capture on the source in front of the microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/2-Inch Back-Electret Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports detailed instrument and percussion recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable -20 dB Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps accommodate high-output and close-miked sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80 Hz Low-Cut Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces low-frequency rumble and proximity-effect buildup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass-A Transformerless Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a direct signal path to connected preamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Metal Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides durable housing for studio and stage use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sE7 uses an all-metal chassis with a compact 23 mm diameter body and a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector. Its 120 mm pencil-microphone form factor is suitable for stand, boom, and clip-based positioning around instruments. The microphone weighs 128 g and includes a mic clip with thread adapter plus a windscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the sE7 to a microphone input using a balanced XLR cable, then enable 48V phantom power from a compatible interface, mixer, or dedicated phantom-power supply. Use the low-cut filter when low-frequency noise or close-miking bass buildup is present, and engage the -20 dB pad for loud sources or when a preamp input is overloading. Position the end-address capsule toward the desired source and use the supplied clip to secure it to a compatible microphone stand or boom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sE Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669447991366,"sku":"sE7","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/611hDeKQXsL.jpg?v=1784504178","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/se-electronics-se7-small-diaphragm-cardioid-condenser-microphone","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
