sE Electronics V8 — a flagship dynamic microphone for live performance
sE Electronics has introduced a premium handheld stage vocal microphone with a new capsule design and strong isolation of the performer's voice.
The new model has an updated DMCV8 supercardioid dynamic capsule, providing detailed treble, even midrange and full bass. The design helps vocals stand out in a mix without heavy EQ or drastic frequency cuts. Its narrow supercardioid pattern rejects off-axis stage sound, giving high gain before feedback even in very noisy live environments. A conventional gold-plated analogue XLR connector provides the output.

An internal shock mount greatly reduces handling noise. A bevelled, multi-sided ring around the grille stops the V8 from rolling on flat surfaces. The capsule is also designed for integration with third-party wireless transmitters. The microphone has a sturdy all-metal body with a wear-resistant matt finish.
