sE Electronics sE7 SideFire Matched Pair Small diaphragm condenser microphone
With a very short signal path and high-quality electronic components, the transformerless design ensures pristine sound quality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth. Convincing stereo recordings require microphones with high consistency and accurate localization, which is precisely what this factory-matched pair delivers. Each pair is meticulously selected from hundreds of individual microphones to ensure they are virtually identical in performance, resulting in a balanced, wide, and accurate three-dimensional stereo image.
What truly sets these microphones apart is their unique side-address capsule design. Unlike most small-diaphragm condensers where you point the top of the microphone at the sound source, these capture sound from the side. This innovative approach provides incredible flexibility in placement, especially in tight spaces or when setting up complex stereo configurations like XY or ORTF. It allows for creative miking techniques that are difficult to achieve with traditional end-address pencil microphones, giving you more control over your sound.
Engineered for versatility, these microphones are equipped with practical features for any recording scenario. A switchable pre-attenuation pad provides extended dynamic range, enabling you to record loud sources like drum overheads, guitar amps, or brass instruments without distortion. The integrated low-cut filter is perfect for minimizing low-frequency rumble, handling noise, or the proximity effect, ensuring a clean and focused recording every time. The robust all-metal construction and gold-plated XLR connector guarantee durability and a reliable, loss-free signal connection for years to come.

Capsule Type: Condenser
A condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses a capacitor to pick up sound. Unlike dynamic microphones, condenser microphones require an external power supply to operate properly. This type of microphone is more sensitive to detail because its diaphragm is sensitive to very fine sound waves, making it ideal for studio recording.
Polar Pattern: Cardioid
The cardioid directional microphone is designed to be most sensitive to sounds coming directly from the front and less sensitive to sounds coming from the sides and back. This directional pattern resembles the shape of a heart (hence the name "cardioid") and is ideal for situations where it is necessary to focus on a single sound source and minimize ambient noise.
