Switchable Sonic Voicing
The ability to select both the microphone's voicing and the high-frequency character of the mic really sets the SE kick apart from other bass drum microphones.
Two switches, left and right. Left shapes the voicing. Right tailors the microphone's high-frequency character. Helping you squeeze every nuance out of your kick drum recordings.
The classic setting on the left gives you a familiar punch and the modern setting emphasises the low end and high end, giving a very 'scooped' sound. On the right hand side, the classic mode provides bite and the modern offers up a very open, clear and transient-rich top end.
Compact and Versatile
The V Kick is small. This makes it the perfect on-stage microphone for gigs and tours. sE consider the V Kick to be one of the smallest kick drum microphones on the market. Its small size means it can easily be placed within or outside the kick with ease. The swivel makes it easy to adjust the action of the microphone towards any part of the kick, allowing you capture the exact sound you want.
