There are plenty of reasons to like the sE Electronics V7 supercardioid handheld microphone. First, its proprietary capsule design faithfully captures just about any sound source. Meanwhile, the supercardioid polar pattern reliably rejects noise and feedback from entering the signal — even when you crank the preamp gain. There’s also a patented internal shockmount to reduce handling noise and mic stand rumble. Finally, the V7’s rugged build quality ensures it can stand up to punishment night after night after night. The V7 microphone is so popular that it’s made numerous appearances in microphone shootouts for guitar amps, vocals, snare drums, and more.
