Description
Based on the highly acclaimed sE8 cardioid pencil condenser, sE proudly offers an omnidirectional option. Featuring the very same, sophisticated capsule backplate design and true condenser technology, the sE8 omni provides an authentic and transparent sound quality second to none. Every pair is hand-crafted and carefully selected in our own factory to ensure the best possible performance. With the lowest noise and highest SPL capability in its class, the sE8 omni is the perfect choice for demanding applications like recording orchestras, ensembles and choirs but equally good for solo instruments, vocals and percussion.

SE Electronics – Micrófono condensador cardioide de diafragma pequeño sE7
Llegaron en paquete cerrado con sello de garantía, son metálicos, 12 cm de largo por 2.24 cm de diámetro en toda su longitud. Vienen en caja de cartón con un clip con tornillo de 5/8 y adaptador 3/8 y con un protector contra viento de hule espuma negro. Tienen en el cuerpo los switches para los filtros de paso bajo y 20db, hay que utilizar un pequeño desarmador para moverlos. Debo señalar que su base (donde están los tres pins de conexión) es demasiado gruesa para conectar directamente con la entrada de una grabadora, en mi caso la F3 de Zoom, pero embonan perfectamente en terminales Amphenol. Llevo poco usándolos pero los encuentro muy sensibles perfectos para grabar sonido ambiente. Aún me falta probar su uso para grabar voz en interior pero por lo pronto estoy muy satisfecho. Como dato curioso, es más barato comprar cada micrófono individualmente que en paquete, y más cuando el paquete trae los mismos accesorios.

Very nice mics in every way except…
These mics are really well made, they look and feel like Neumann KM184 mics which I also have. They sound amazingly good although I have not used them on loud sources like drums or trumpets. Unlike the 184’s they have 10 dB pad and low frequency cut switches. I bought them to use as a low cost boom mic for dialog on student movies. The only con as you might expect is self noise. It can be heard but is obscured if there is any ambient noise in the space. The 184’s are of course dead silent but cost 9X more. Still a good value and good mic.

Clear natural sound
I use this mic to record acoustic guitars. Mic provides a good base sound to work with when recording.

Great value, low self noise and captures my voice well for meetings, phone calls and podcasting
I purchased this to replace a Shure SM7B. While the Shure SM7B is great – it’s also a typical broadcast-style dynamic microphone and needs to be right in your face to work. It also requires a lot of gain. This SE7 needs phantom power and has plenty of gain, though it is cranked almost as high as the SM7B due to the distance. I purchased this as it’s more directional, should pick me up in close proximity, but not everything in my house like a large-diaphragm condenser (LDC). The sE Electronics SE7 definitely fit the bill. In Zoom meetings and podcasts – it’s almost no different… except it’s better. The microphone picks up much more nuance in my voice and it’s about 18 to 20 inches from my face (45 to 50 cm). I’ve been very pleased with it and have used it for some auditions, podcasting, and making phone calls from my computer. It’s not going to replace my main studio microphones (Neumann TLM 193 and Sennheiser 416 MKH) but I definitely might purchase another for podcasting and as a room mic for picking up conversations from more than one person.

Size matters!
Bought this to replace a Blue Ember and an AT2020, both of which only can be mounted upright (vertically) on my desk stand as they are side driven. The SE7 is driven from the front (mounts horizontally) and is MUCH smaller, so I don’t knock it over. The mounting clip that comes with it is really good. The sound, in my flute playing experience, is comparable to the others, as is the price. All three are excellent condenser mikes at $100; the SE7 meets my physical needs better. Do keep in mind that it does not come with an XLR cable, but it does include a useable pop filter.

Microphones for recording an instrument
These sE Electronics SE7 Matched Pair microphones are an inexpensive way to capture authentic piano. The dynamic range is excellent, and the microphones focus well on the piano excluding sound to the rear of the mics.

Working great as high quality drum overheads
These seem to perfectly fit the bill as paired drum overheads. I also plan to employ them onstage as instrument mics for brass. They are working wonderfully, with full sound, bright and suitability directional. I am using them with the low band pass filters switched on to cut back sound under 80hz.

Great for piano recording. A must in this virtual performance world we live in now.
The media could not be loaded.
Great for recording Piano, these microphones are a must if you want to capture true sound. Great frequency response for the money.

You need one of these!
I use this mic when it’s just me in front of the camera. It frees up my hands and makes me seem more natural. The sound is great and the self noise is other-worldly! It’s super quiet for the price.

High Performance – High Value
These are possibly the best drum overheads I’ve ever used. They also absolutely shine on acoustic instruments as well. I’ve used Neumann and AKG’s over the past forty plus years and these compare very favorably. At this price-point, you will not find a better matched mic pair.
