SE ELECTRONICS V7 Dynamic Microphone for Singing, Speech & Studio Recording - XLR Handheld Professional Microphone with Supercardioid Aluminum Voice Coil for Huge Gain Before Feedback - Black

I purchased the SE electronics V7 dynamic microphone looking to step up from budget dynamic mics. For comparison, I own a Behringer 85A and two Pyle PDMic58 (marketed as SM58 clones) which I sometimes pair up for stereo recording. Both these are budget mics retailing for under $25. The PDmic58 has good sound quality, excellent feedback and noise rejection at 600 ohm and a cardioid pattern, but drops off in frequency response above 10,000 Hz and needs generous EQ to sound good (demands careful but minimal procressing) while the BA 85A with a supercardioid pattern offers even better isolation, more punchiness and a better lift in the mid to high range, kind of like a Shure 58A, but sounds gritty and grainy after processing. Basically it sacrifices quality frequency response on the high end for sheer gain and lacks some the low end … magic … to lift the warmth from my bass voice. I chalk this grainy sound up to the fact that it probably uses cheap parts for circuitry and because it has a low 300 ohm resistance (low for a budget mic) to muscle the sibilance past that.I thought about buying the ubiquitous Shure SM58, but then I did some consumer research and decided that wasn’t the profile I was looking for on the low to midrange. I considered getting the Beyerdynamic M88 at first, but I found this equally suitable and slightly less boomy microphone at one fifth of the price of the German mic.The SE V7 has virtually the same frequency response as the B88 (20-20k) at 40 Hz - 19,000 Hz. Sound quality is better than all my budget mics on the low end, and it delivers a very even profile, allowing EQ and processing to be as minimally invasive or as creative as I need it to be.It’s now a fixture in my studio, and it looks nice too!

Excellent product at it excellent price and delivery time was wonderful

I love the sound quality, it is so clear. I love the looks of it because of the red. The functionality of this mic is like no other that I have. It is really good for its price. The clarity on this mic is so good. Love

Excelente micrófono

Good clean sound not hard on the vocals.

I love this mic, highly recommend it

Got this mic to replace my SM58. As a drummer it was difficult to get a good signal without feedback. For whatever reason the 58 was just not hot enough. I borrowed a V7 and it worked perfectly. I heard Myles Kennedy used this to hear himself better and the gain allowed him to sing without pushing his voice too much. Great new standard of mic to go against the old ones.

I’ve only had it for a few weeks now. Pretty impressive. A little clearer highs than the SM 58 and about the same handing noise. Build quality seems to be on par with other brands in this price category. IMO it aesthetically holds its own for a stage mic.I will definitely be purchasing a few more in the future.
