V7 Chrome Vocal SE Microphone

The sE Electronics V7 CHROME is essentially the critically acclaimed sE Electronics V7 handheld dynamic vocal microphone, but with a distinct and eye-catching custom chrome finish. The "CHROME" in its name specifically refers to this highly polished, reflective aesthetic, making it stand out visually on stage or in the studio.

Functionally and sonically, it shares all the core high-performance characteristics of the standard V7:

Key Features (Shared with the standard V7):

• Dynamic Microphone: Designed to handle high sound pressure levels (SPLs), making it robust for live vocals and loud instruments.

• Supercardioid Polar Pattern: This tight pickup pattern is crucial for live performance, offering excellent off-axis rejection. This means it primarily picks up sound directly in front of the microphone, significantly rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This results in:

  • High Gain Before Feedback: Allows for much higher monitor and main speaker volumes without the mic "squealing."

  • Superior Isolation: Helps to separate the vocalist's sound from other instruments on a busy stage, leading to a cleaner mix.

• Custom DMC7 Dynamic Capsule with Aluminum Voice Coil: This is a hallmark of the V7 series. The specialized, lightweight aluminum voice coil (unlike traditional copper) is custom-developed to deliver a "crisp, open sound" and excellent transient response. This allows the microphone to capture the nuances of a vocal performance with remarkable clarity and naturalness, helping vocals cut through the mix effortlessly.

• Patented Integrated Shockmount: The capsule is internally shock-mounted, effectively decoupling it from mechanical vibrations. This significantly reduces handling noise (e.g., bumps, thumps from holding the mic or stand movement), ensuring a cleaner signal free of unwanted rumbles.

• All-Metal Housing & Beveled Spring Steel Grille: The V7 CHROME is built for the rigors of the road. Its chassis is made from a high-quality, durable zinc alloy. The spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free. The unique beveled edge around the grille prevents the microphone from rolling when placed on a flat surface.

• Internal Windscreen: Helps reduce unwanted wind noise and plosive (P-pop) sounds. The V7 CHROME typically comes with a black internal windscreen pre-installed, but a spare red internal windscreen is also included, allowing for a personal aesthetic touch.

• Gold-Plated XLR Connector: Ensures a loss-free and reliable signal connection over years of demanding use.

Distinguishing Feature (The "CHROME"):

• Custom Chrome Finish: This is the defining characteristic of the V7 CHROME. The highly polished, reflective chrome plating provides a unique and visually striking appearance on stage or in the studio, giving it a distinctive "bling" factor.
