  • "I adore my sE V7 Chrome mic. In my experience, it’s been consistently one of the best sounding live microphones in any size venue. I’ve taken it all around the world and know it’s dependable. I also use it for tracking demos in my home studio. Also, the chrome look is undeniably classic."

  • "The sE V7 is stellar for live performance because of the feedback rejection. I feel like my voice is always true to color and clarity. My pro-tip for maximum gain before feedback: use a pair of floor wedges, one on each side of the mic position. This compliments the nature of supercardoid mics."
