sE Electronics V BEAT Supercardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Drum Microphone

Description

Designed for use with snare drums and toms, the sE Electronics V BEAT Supercardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Drum Microphone offers a low-profile design that attaches easily to the rim of drum heads. Not only does the mic provide a highly accurate, naturalistic audio capture—it also keeps cables out the drummer's line of sight and makes it easier for them to manoeuvre around the kit without fear of accidentally striking a mic head.

At the heart of the V Beat is its DMC7 X capsule, which utilises an aluminium voice coil for a transient-rich sound and a bottom end extending low enough to record the fundamental frequencies of toms and snares. Its supercardioid pickup pattern ensures little bleed, helping you isolate the sound-source from other drums or cymbals. The capsule is suspended inside the mic to keep it decoupled from mechanical vibration, shocks, jolts, and other issues.

The mic's all-metal housing is rugged, making the mic suitable for live use on the road. A gold-plated XLR connector helps to provide a reliable signal connection. With a windscreen built into the mic, it's already internally protected against winds, plosives, and extraneous noise. A black windscreen and a knurled nut for third-party mounting kits are included.
