Detail 01
90-degree side-address capsule orientation
Allows placement choices that differ from a conventional end-address microphone, including overhead and underhead setups.


Independent shopping perspective
The sE7 sF sideFire matched pair is built for stereo recording when conventional microphone angles or space are restrictive. Each cardioid condenser places its capsule at 90 degrees for overhead, underhead, and close-miking arrangements. Factory matching aligns frequency response and phase correlation for stereo imaging on sources such as drum overheads, piano, and orchestral performances. Discrete Class-A electronics, transformerless output, a -20 dB pad, and an 80 Hz low-cut filter provide level and low-frequency control.
