Description

Edit description

Introducing the sE Electronics V7 MC1, a remarkable wireless microphone capsule that brings the unmatched audio quality of the V7 dynamic microphone to your favorite Shure wireless system. The V7 MC1 is designed with an innovative aluminum voice coil that ensures a natural-sounding reproduction of your voice, making it ideal for both vocals and instruments.

This microphone capsule is renowned for its excellent ambient noise rejection, thanks to its supercardioid polar pattern. This feature not only isolates your vocals from side/rear noise but also delivers massive amounts of gain before feedback, ensuring cleaner audio and more headroom.

The V7 MC1 boasts a dentproof spring steel windscreen and built-in pop filter that significantly reduce the incidence of plosives. It also features an integrated shockmount that virtually eliminates handling noise, thus enhancing your overall performance.

The V7 MC1 is compatible with all Shure wireless systems, except the BLX and GLX-D series. Its beveled edge is a thoughtful addition that prevents the mic from rolling off flat surfaces like tables or amps.

"Caroline’s vocal mic is Shure Axient Digital with an sE V7 capsule. We went through a few vocal mics before landing on the v7. There’s some weird magical voodoo in the V7 / female vocal combo. It’s got a ton of definition in the high’s without sounding too spicy or brittle, and the polar pattern is insanely tight and gets us a few extra dB of usable gain.”"
