The sE7 sideFire is a high-quality small diaphragm condenser microphone that combines renowned sound performance with a versatile side-address design. The 90° angle of its capsule allows for a wide range of precise placement options, making it easier than ever to capture sound in tight spaces. Whether you're looking for unobtrusive close-miking, creative overhead and/or underhead miking or simply aesthetically pleasing microphone placements, the sE7 sideFire gives you all that, and more.
Built on the trusted sE7 platform, the sE7 sideFire delivers clear, natural sound across all frequencies, with an ultra-thin diaphragm that ensures excellent transient response. Ideal for both studio and live sound applications, it excels at capturing everything from acoustic guitars and pianos to brass and percussion instruments, with no harshness and plenty of low-end punch.
The sE7 sideFire's discrete Class-A electronics, combined with a transformerless output, ensure incredibly low-noise performance, making it the quietest pencil mic in its class. The switchable -20dB pre-attenuation pad extends its dynamic range, allowing you to close-mic loud sources like brass instruments or snare drums without distortion. The integrated 80Hz low-cut filter helps to successfully eliminate low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, and excess bass, making it an equally good choice for close-miking and general recording applications. The rugged all-metal housing with its premium finish offers superior rejection of electrical interference and noise, making the sE7 sideFire a reliable and roadworthy companion that will withstand the rigors of day-to-day tour life.
The microphones come complete with a windscreen and a robust mic clip with thread adapter to fit any standard mic stand.
