About SE Electronics V BEAT

While capturing the essence of live percussion performances or studio sessions, the V BEAT Dynamic Percussion Instrument Microphone stands out as the quintessential choice for professionals seeking a durable, high-quality, and reliable audio solution. This dynamic microphone is specifically engineered to deliver an effortlessly amazing sound for any snare or tom drum, whether on-stage or in a recording environment.

The V BEAT's supercardioid polar pattern is meticulously designed to focus on the sound emanating directly from the percussion instruments, ensuring a precise audio capture with minimal interference from surrounding noise. This feature is particularly beneficial for isolating the unique tones of drums and cymbals, making the V BEAT an ideal microphone for drummers and percussionists who demand clarity and detail in their audio recordings.

Equipped with an XLR connector known for its robustness and consistent performance, the V BEAT is a testament to professional-grade equipment. Its high-quality connection is a key factor in its ability to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent use, providing sound engineers and musicians with peace of mind during live performances and studio work.

The V BEAT's design is both compact and flexible, with a minimalist approach that does not compromise on sound quality. The integrated XLR connector and stand mount are thoughtfully positioned in parallel beneath the swivel mount, reducing the microphone's footprint and keeping cables out of sight and away from the drummer's playing area. This innovative design also eliminates the need for right-angle adapters or special cables, streamlining the setup process and enhancing the microphone's aesthetic appeal.

When paired with the V CLAMP, the V BEAT's versatility is further enhanced, offering additional vertical positioning capabilities while maintaining a secure attachment to the drum rim. This combination results in an even more compact profile, allowing for precise placement without adding unnecessary bulk.

At the heart of the V BEAT lies the custom DMC7 X capsule, sharing the same advanced technology as its sibling, the acclaimed V7 microphone. However, the DMC7 X capsule is custom-tuned for instrumental use, delivering an open, transient-rich sound with deep, clear lows and a balanced midrange that faithfully captures the natural resonance of percussion instruments.

The microphone's internal capsule suspension is a unique, patented feature that effectively isolates the capsule from mechanical vibrations, ensuring that the audio remains free from shocks and jolts. This internal suspension negates the need for an external shock mount, further simplifying the microphone's setup.

Constructed with an all-metal housing and a spring steel grille, the V BEAT is built to endure the demands of live performance. The die-cast zinc alloy chassis, dent-proof grille, and gold-plated XLR connector are all designed for longevity and consistent, high-end sound quality. The swivel mount's tightening knob ensures that the microphone remains securely positioned throughout use.

Additionally, the V BEAT includes an internal windscreen to reduce unwanted noise such as popping and wind interference. A black windscreen is also provided for those who prefer a more discreet appearance. For compatibility with various drum mic mounting systems, a specially designed knurled nut is included to accommodate the microphone's space-efficient design without obstructing the XLR connector.

In summary, the V BEAT Dynamic Percussion Instrument Microphone is a versatile, professional, and reliable choice for capturing the dynamic range and energy of percussion instruments. Its thoughtful design, superior sound quality, and robust construction make it a standout option for discerning musicians and audio professionals.
