  • 90° Side-Address Capsule Enables Miking In Confined Spaces And Tight Instrument Positions
  • Switchable 20 dB Attenuation Pad Extends Dynamic Range For High-SPL Sources
  • Integrated 80 Hz Low-Cut Filter Controls Proximity Effect And Rumble
  • Transformerless Discrete Class-A Design Delivers Ultra-Low-Noise Performance
  • Cardioid Polar Pattern Provides Excellent Rejection Of Off-Axis Sound
  • Gold-Plated XLR Connector Ensures Reliable Tour-Grade Signal Transfer

The sE Electronics SE7-U sideFire is a small-diaphragm back-electret condenser built for studio and live sound engineers who need flexibility in close-miking scenarios. The 90° rotated capsule design opens access to confined spaces—ideal for positioning near drum shells, inside piano lids, or tight orchestral setups—while maintaining the sonic clarity and transient response of the sE7 platform.

Touring and studio professionals rely on the SE7-U for acoustic guitar, piano, woodwinds, brass, and drum overhead applications. The cardioid pattern rejects off-axis noise, the switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter controls proximity effect, and the -20dB attenuation pad extends dynamic range for high-SPL sources like snare drums and brass sections. All-metal construction with a gold-plated XLR connector ensures tour-grade durability and signal integrity.

Paired microphones are matched from hundreds of units to guarantee identical sensitivity and frequency response across the stereo field. The transformerless discrete Class-A circuit and ultra-low-noise components deliver pristine, detailed capture of every instrument without coloration.
