Ideal for live sound IEM crowd noise, on-set dialogue capture, broadcasting in noise spaces, and spot miking orchestras, the sE Electronics sE6160 is a shotgun mic with handcrafted, gold-sputtered true condenser capsule and a tight supercardioid/lobar pickup pattern. With switchable -10 or -20 dB pad and 80 or 160 Hz low-cut filter, you can handle nearly any audio source.
The extremely tight and specially tuned pickup pattern helps to not only cut out unwanted environmental off-axis noise, it also ensures a high gain before feedback without colorization of signals. The housing is constructed from die-cast metal for durability and sports a 3-pin XLR output. As a true condenser mic, the sE6160 takes common 48V phantom power. The sE6160 includes a mic clip with thread adapter, a foam windscreen, and a soft case.
