The sE Electronics V7 Nickel is a handheld supercardioid dynamic microphone built for stage vocals, here in a brushed nickel finish. sE recommends it for vocals, speech, broadcasting and podcasting, and it also works on electric guitar amps and drums.
-
DMC7 capsule: a dynamic capsule developed by sE for the V7, with an aluminium voice coil and a neodymium magnet
-
Supercardioid pattern: keeps surrounding instruments out of the vocal channel and gives plenty of gain before feedback
-
Integrated shockmount: sE's patented internal suspension isolates the capsule from mechanical vibration, keeping handling noise low
-
All-metal build: zinc alloy housing with no plastic parts and a spring steel mesh grille described as dent-proof and corrosion-free
-
Swappable windscreen: internal windscreen against wind noise and plosives, with a black one fitted and a spare purple one included
-
Gold-plated XLR: standard 3-pin male XLR output
The V7 Nickel uses the same design as the standard V7. The brushed nickel finish is the difference sE lists. The grille has a bevelled edge, so the mic stays put instead of rolling when it is set down on an amp or the stage floor between songs.
With a frequency range of 40 Hz to 19 kHz and a sensitivity of 2.0 mV/Pa, it suits live singers and engineers who need a focused, feedback-resistant vocal mic. It also suits broadcasters and podcasters looking for a dynamic mic that rejects room sound. The box includes a mic clip, thread adapter, the spare purple windscreen and a carrying pouch.
