SE Electronics V-BEAT Snare and Drum Supercardioid Microphone is simply an amazing sound for any snare or tom drum, whether on-stage or off. It Features superior isolation and effortless sonics, all with minimal footprint and maximum flexibility. The Heart of The V-Beat: The DMC7 X Capsule The custom DMC7 X capsule offers the same innovative, specialized aluminum voice coil technology as the V7 dynamic. With aluminum being a much lighter material than the industry standard (copper), it delivers an open and transient-rich sound, with deep and clear lows and an extremely balanced mid-range, supporting the natural resonances of percussive instruments. Unique, Patented Integrated Capsule Suspension The V BEAT’s advanced internal capsule suspension efficiently decouples the capsule from mechanical vibration, isolating it from shocks and jolts and eliminating the need for an external shock mount. Supercardioid Design with Superb Off-Axis Rejection 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. All-Metal Housing and Spring Steel Grille The V BEAT’s road-ready chassis is all metal. The chassis' high-quality, highly durable die-cast zinc alloy and dent-proof, corrosion-free spring steel mesh grille are designed to withhold the wear and tear of everyday tour life for years. Recommended Use SE Electronics V-BEAT Snare and Drum Microphone Supercardioid is recommended for use with drums, toms, snare, and percussion.
