V7 Red Dynamic Vocal Microphone SE Microphone

The sE Electronics V7 REDU refers to the sE Electronics V7 handheld dynamic vocal microphone, with "REDU" specifically highlighting its distinctive red finish. Functionally and sonically, it is identical to the standard V7 or V7U models.

The V7 series has earned a strong reputation as a formidable alternative to industry-standard dynamic vocal microphones, often praised for its "crisp, open sound" and superior feedback rejection.

Here's a recap of its key features, with emphasis on its unique aesthetic:

Key Differentiating Feature: The Red Finish

• Distinctive Red Housing: The "REDU" in the name indicates that this specific V7 model comes in a vibrant, eye-catching red finish. This makes it a unique visual statement on stage, often appealing to performers who want their microphone to stand out or match a particular aesthetic.

• Black Internal Windscreen (typically): While the standard V7 often comes with a red internal windscreen and a spare black one, the V7 REDU usually comes with a black internal windscreen pre-installed, offering a striking contrast with the red body. (Always confirm specific packaging details, but this is common).

Core Design & Capsule (Shared with all V7 models):

• Dynamic Microphone: Built to handle high sound pressure levels (SPLs) typical of live vocals and instruments without distortion.

• Supercardioid Polar Pattern: This tight pickup pattern is crucial for live performance. It focuses sound capture directly in front of the microphone, providing excellent isolation of the vocalist's voice from other stage noise (instruments, drums, audience). This also contributes to vast amounts of gain before feedback, allowing for higher monitor and main speaker volumes.

• Custom DMC7 Dynamic Capsule with Aluminum Voice Coil: This is a core innovation of the V7. The specialized aluminum voice coil is lighter than traditional copper, which sE Electronics claims contributes to a "crisp, open sound" and excellent transient response, capturing the nuances of the voice with natural clarity.

• Neodymium Magnets: Ensure high sensitivity and consistent performance.

Performance & Sound (Shared with all V7 models):

• Crisp, Open, and Natural Sound: Users and reviewers frequently describe the V7's sound as clear, detailed, and natural, often highlighting its smooth high-mid response and "airy top end" without being harsh. This allows vocals to cut through a mix effectively with minimal EQ.

• Reduced Proximity Effect: While it's a supercardioid dynamic, some users note it can be less prone to "boominess" from proximity effect compared to some other dynamics, making it more forgiving with varied mic technique.

• Frequency Range: Typically 40 Hz - 19 kHz.

• Sensitivity: 2.0 mV/Pa (-54 dBV).

Physical Design & Durability (Shared with all V7 models):

• All-Metal Housing & Beveled Spring Steel Grille: The V7 is built like a tank. Its chassis is made from a high-quality, durable zinc alloy, designed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent handling. The spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free.

• Beveled Grille Edge: A clever design touch, the hexagonal grille's beveled edge prevents the microphone from rolling when placed on a flat surface.

• Patented Integrated Shockmount: The capsule is efficiently decoupled from mechanical vibration through a patented internal shockmount. This significantly reduces handling noise, allowing performers to move freely on stage without unwanted thumps or rumbles being amplified.

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

Included Accessories:

• Mic Clip

• Thread Adapter

• Carrying Pouch

• (Note: The "REDU" version typically does NOT include a separate red internal windscreen as the body itself is red. It usually has a black internal windscreen pre-installed.)

The sE Electronics V7 REDU offers the same professional-grade sound, exceptional feedback rejection, and tour-ready durability as the standard V7, but with a unique and striking red finish that helps performers stand out visually.
