sE Electronics V BEAT – Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone for Percussion and Instruments

The sE Electronics V BEAT is a compact dynamic microphone designed for close-quarters pickup of snares and toms, yet its versatility allows it to perform exceptionally well with guitar amps and horns. Based on the V7 X’s DMC7 X capsule, it delivers a natural, detailed sound over a wide 30Hz–19kHz range. Its supercardioid pattern maximizes gain-before-feedback and effectively rejects spill from other drums, while the internal shockmount minimizes vibration and handling noise. Constructed from metal with a stainless steel grille and gold-plated XLR connector, the V BEAT ensures durability and sound quality in the studio and on stage.
