sE ElectronicssE7 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Matched Pair Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The black sE7 matched pair gives you two small-diaphragm cardioid condensers selected for closely correlated response and near-identical sensitivity. That pairing supports balanced stereo recording on acoustic guitar, piano, and drums, while each microphone is also presented for vocals, brass, and woodwinds. A switchable 20 dB pad raises maximum SPL handling to 156 dB, and the 80 Hz high-pass filter helps manage excess low end, rumble, and footfall noise when close-miking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Balanced stereo recording of acoustic guitar, piano, or drums with a selected matched microphone pair
- Close-miking loud horns, guitar cabinets, or snare drums using the switchable 20 dB pad
- Close-miking sources where an 80 Hz filter can reduce bass buildup, rumble, or footfall noise
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Recording setups that cannot provide the specified 48 V microphone powering.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
20 dB switchable pad
Engaging it increases maximum SPL from 136 dB to 156 dB for louder close-miked sources.
Detail 03
80 Hz switchable high-pass filter
It rolls off low-frequency content to address excessive bass, rumble, and footfall noise.
Detail 04
Cardioid polar pattern
The microphones use a cardioid pickup pattern with consistent behavior across a wide frequency range.
Detail 05
16 dB(A) equivalent noise level
The specified self-noise figure supports detailed capture of quiet sources.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01These microphones require 48 V powering according to IEC 61938.
- 02Use the 20 dB pad for loud close-miked sources when additional SPL handling is needed.
