sE Electronics V Kick Supercardioid Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone

The sE Electronics V Kick is a specialised dynamic microphone designed specifically for capturing the low-frequency energy and impact of kick (bass) drums and other large percussion instruments. Its compact form factor and integrated swivel joint allow for flexible placement both inside and outside the drum shell, making it adaptable to various recording and live sound situations. The microphone is engineered to deliver the punch, snap, and deep lows essential for modern and classic drum sounds alike. Key features include a specialised aluminium voice coil and neodymium magnet system that efficiently captures detailed low-end and transient-rich highs. The rear panel houses two recessed switches that provide four distinct sonic voicings, allowing users to shape the sound from warm and classic to modern and aggressive. The supercardioid polar pattern offers superior isolation, reducing spill from other drums like snares and hi-hats. A patented internal shock-mount effectively decouples the capsule from mechanical vibrations, eliminating the need for an external shock-mount, while the all-metal housing with a stainless steel grille ensures road-ready durability. The V Kick is ideally suited for drummers, recording engineers, and live sound technicians who require a reliable, versatile microphone for kick drum applications. Its compact size makes it easy to position in tight spaces, and the included parallel stand adapter and knurled nut for third-party hardware like the LP Mic Claw enhance mounting options. With both red and black internal windscreens included, users can choose based on preference. This microphone fits seamlessly into studio recording sessions, live performances, and rehearsal environments where capturing the fundamental character of a kick drum is paramount.
