Switchable pre-attenuation pad
Lets the microphone handle loud sound sources in close-miking and high-SPL situations.


Independent shopping perspective
Focused pickup and practical control make the sE6160 suited to location, broadcast, and live-production work. Its handcrafted true-condenser capsule uses a gold-sputtered diaphragm, while the supercardioid lobar pattern is designed to reject unwanted noise and provide gain before feedback. Engage the pad around loud sources, or use the low-cut filter to reduce rumble, footfall, and wind-related low frequencies. The lightweight die-cast metal body supports mobile recording and extended boom operation.
