SE ELECTRONICS / sE7 sideFire

The sE7 sideFire is a variation of the sE7, a high-quality back electret small-diaphragm condenser microphone that is ideal for a wide range of applications, from acoustic guitar to piano and drums, in both studio and live sound.

High-Quality Condenser Capsule
The sE7 sideFire's capsule features an ultra-thin diaphragm for excellent transient response, delivering natural, balanced sound. Its cardioid pattern is ideal for a variety of sources in the studio or on stage.
The distinctive 90° side-address capsule facilitates setup, even in tight spaces.

Quietest Pencil Microphone in Its Class
Featuring an extremely short signal path and advanced electronic design, the sE7 sideFire is the quietest microphone in its class. Its transformerless design delivers superior clarity and depth, preserving the source's original sound quality.

Attenuation Pad
The sE7 sideFire features a -20 dB attenuation pad switch. This prevents overloading the preamp or mixer, expanding dynamic range and enabling close-miking techniques in a wide range of applications, including wind instruments and snare drums.

[Low-Cut Filter]
The 80 Hz low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted foot noise, helping to balance excessive proximity effect when close-miking.

[Metal Enclosure and Premium Finish]
The sE7 sideFire's metal chassis effectively suppresses electrical interference and noise. Its high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connectors ensure a reliable signal connection. A custom microphone clip is also included for easy mounting on a microphone stand.
