[Product Features]

The possibilities of "90 degrees"

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.

It features a side-address capsule, making it easy to record microphones in limited spaces.

The optimized acoustic design, discrete Class A circuitry, and transformerless output stage deliver natural, clear sound quality across a wide frequency range without suffering from harsh highs or a lack of low-end punch.


●High-quality condenser capsule

The sE7 sideFire capsule features an ultra-thin diaphragm for excellent transient response, resulting in a natural, well-balanced sound, and its cardioid pattern makes it ideal for a variety of sources in the studio or on stage.

The distinctive 90-degree side-address capsule makes it easy to set up 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, without compromising the original sound quality of the source.

Attenuation pad
The sE7 sideFire features a -20 dB attenuation pad switch, which prevents overloading preamps or mixers and extends dynamic range, enabling close-miking techniques for a wide range of applications, including brass instruments and snare drums.

●Low-cut filter
An 80 Hz low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted foot noise, and helps balance excessive proximity effect when close-micing.

●Metal casing and premium finish
The sE7 sideFire's metal chassis effectively suppresses electrical interference and noise, while its high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connectors ensure a reliable signal connection. It also includes a custom mic clip for easy mounting on a mic stand.
