sE Electronics sE6160 Matched Pair Shotgun Condenser Microphones

sE Electronics sE6160 Matched Pair Shotgun Condenser Microphones

The sE Electronics sE6160 Matched Pair is a premium, professional shotgun condenser microphone pair designed specifically for film, television, broadcasting, and demanding field recording. As a factory-matched pair, every two microphones are strictly selected from numerous units to ensure perfectly identical frequency response and sensitivity. This allows for highly accurate stereo recordings and maintains strict phase coherence even in the most challenging environments.

Inside every sE6160 microphone is a handcrafted high-quality interference tube capsule featuring a supercardioid/lobar polar pattern. This guarantees exceptional sound isolation from unwanted ambient noise and focused capture of the primary sound source from a distance without coloration. Thanks to an ultra-low self-noise level (just 13 dB(A)) and a massive dynamic range, these microphones capture even the quietest nuances without any hiss. The equipped switchable low-cut filters and attenuation pads provide flexibility when working with a variety of sound sources—from quiet nature sounds to loud special effects (handling extreme sound pressure levels up to 157 dB SPL).
