Product Features:
The Heart of the V KICK: the DMC7 SB capsule
The all-new custom DMC7 SB capsule offers the same technologies and features as its siblings within the acclaimed V7 and V7 X, including the innovative, specialized aluminum voice coil. While the V7 X is optimized for most other instruments, the capsule in the V KICK has been custom-tuned for the very lowest and loudest tones.
The Most Compact Kick Drum Mic on the Market
The V KICK’s extremely low profile allows for effortless placement outside or inside a kick drum, and its integrated swivel joint allows for easy positioning inside (through the drum head port) or outside the kick drum.
Transient Rich Aluminum Voice Coil
With aluminum being a much lighter material than the industry standard (copper), it delivers an open and transient-rich sound, with effortless capture of low-frequency energy and punch. The midrange is also extremely balanced, supporting the natural resonances of percussive instruments. Proven Neodymium magnets, tight production tolerances and high workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity, high-end sound quality and superb consistency.
From Classic to Modern: Four Switchable Sonic Voicings
Two switches on the rear side of the V KICK allow you four different sound settings, great for tailoring the sound for your specific project - and ideal for live shows with multiple bands and short changeovers. And since they’re on the back of the mic, these switches are still accessible even if the V KICK is placed inside a kick drum. The V KICK ensures you always have the right choice on-hand with just a single microphone.
All-metal Housing & sSpring Steel Grille with Gold XLR Connector
The V KICK's road-ready chassis is all metal, with no fragile plastic parts. The chassis' high quality, highly durable die-cast zinc alloy is designed to withhold the wear & tear of day to day day tour life for years, the spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free for perfect reliability, and the tightening knob for the swivel mount maintains a rock-solid hold on the V KICK in any position. Plus, the V KICK's gold-plated XLR connector ensures a loss-free and reliable signal connection for years to come.
Inside the Voicings
The Left-hand Switch Shapes the Microphone’s Overall Voicing
"Classic" provides a more traditional kick drum sound with a familiar low frequency punch and a warmer, more rounded sound. If a more contemporary, aggressive sound is desired, the "Modern" setting emphasizes the low end and high end (a "scooped" sound).
The Right-hand Switch Specifically Tailors the High-frequency Character
"Classic" provides a typical bite in the upper midrange (presence boost) and a more rounded and familiar sound, while "Modern" provides an open, clear and transient-rich top end for a more contemporary, aggressive drum sound - ideal for metal and hard rock.

The excellent off-axis rejection of the DMC7 X capsule helps isolate your drums from other sound sources - efficiently reducing stage bleed and spill from other instruments on stage or in the studio.
Compact, Flexible, and Minimalist Design
The V BEAT utilizes an extremely low-profile mechanical design, with the XLR connector and stand mount integrated in parallel on the underside of the flexible swivel mount. This minimizes the V BEAT’s footprint, removes any cables from line-of-sight, and negates the need for any right-angle adapters or special cables.
Inside the V CLAMP
The Perfectly Compact Companion for All Your Drum Mic Mounting Needs
When used as designed, the V CLAMP makes your V BEAT snare & tom mics even more compact, and even more flexible. The V CLAMP adds another axis of vertical movement for even better fine-positioning ability, and keeps the V BEAT securely fastened to your drum rim while adding barely any bulk to the overall footprint.
A Sturdy Grip for Your Favorite Tom or Snare Drum Rims
By placing the top of the V CLAMP's rubber jaw mount on the top of a drum's rim, the bottom of the jaw mount can then be easily secured to the bottom of the rim. The V CLAMP's clever design offers convenience to drummers and percussionists worldwide as it can be fixed to a drum's rim with one hand, if using the right technique!
Compact Design with Set Up and Breakdown Time in Mind
The V CLAMP enables extremely low-profile positioning allowing for close tom miking techniques to combat proximity effect while allowing for increased versatility. Thanks to its vertical adjustment shaft and the V BEATS swivel mount mechanism, the V CLAMP enables perfect positioning for ideal placement on your kit.

Product Features:
Handcrafted True Condenser Capsule
The sE8’s gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability for natural, balanced sound quality. Every capsule is handcrafted and individually tuned in our very own factory with ultra-precision electrode design optimized for superb linearity and natural sonics.
Natural Balanced Sound
An ultra-thin 3-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm for superior transients and a newly-developed backplate design provides smooth, natural sound & truly consistent off-axis response. The sophisticated acoustic design with precision components avoids coloration in demanding applications.
The Quietest Pencil Mic in Its Class
With zero integrated circuits, and state-of-the-art electronics, the sE8 is the quietest microphone in its class. The transformerless design ensures pristine sound quality, reproducing instruments with excellent clarity and depth. The proven Class-A circuitry ensures a high dynamic range without distortion and brilliant transient response.
Two Switchable Pre-attenuation Pads
The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for brass instruments, snare drums, and more.
Two Switchable Low-cut Filters
Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.
Why a Handcrafted Capsule?
As with all of sE's true condensers, the sE8’s gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is highly unusual for mics at this price, and is a great point of pride for us. Building and tuning a capsule is a subtle, artistic process, and given the scale of the vibrations which they must perceive, this is the most vital element of the mic.
All-metal Housing with Gold-plated XLR Connector & Premium Finish
Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some small-capsule microphones, the sE8's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish and gold-plated XLR connector ensures a great look and a loss-free, reliable signal connection for years to come.
