Description
For ten years the sE V7 has been a fixture on stages: reliable, tightly focused and free of gimmicks. The sE Electronics V8 keeps everything that mic did well and fits it with a new DMCV8 capsule, with more detail in the highs and a fuller low end. The result is a supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone that puts the vocal above the band from soundcheck onwards, with less EQ and more headroom before feedback.
Features
The newly developed DMCV8 capsule delivers a balanced midrange, open highs and a low end that reaches further than you would expect from a dynamic mic. The tight supercardioid pattern keeps drums and monitors out of the signal and gives you plenty of gain before feedback. A patented integrated shock mount tames handling noise, and the all-metal body with spring-steel grille is built for years on the road. With its gold-plated XLR connector and the included clip with adapter, it drops into any existing rig without fuss.
Key features
- Vocals that sit in the mix straight away, with less EQ work at the desk
- Supercardioid pattern: less bleed from drums and wedges, more level before feedback
- Integrated shock mount keeps handling and cable noise out of the signal
- All-metal body and spring-steel grille: dent-resistant and corrosion-proof
- Bevelled edge, so it will not roll off the table or the stage
- Understated finish that does not pull attention away from the singer on stage

- Loud stages with drums and wedges, where bleed and feedback are the problem

- Speakers and presenters who want a clear, natural voice
Pairs perfectly with
- Any mixer or stagebox with an XLR mic input
- A solid XLR microphone cable of 5 to 10 metres
- Mic stands with 3/8" or 5/8" thread (adapter included)
- Going wireless: the same capsule is available as V8 MC1 (Shure) and V8 MC2 (Sennheiser) for compatible handheld transmitters
Pro Tip: A supercardioid keeps a small sensitive lobe directly behind it, so do not put the wedges straight behind the singer but at an angle, roughly 120 degrees left and right. That is where rejection is strongest and where you get the most level out of your monitors before it rings.

FAQ
What is the difference from the sE V7?
The V8 uses the new DMCV8 capsule: more detail in the highs, a fuller low end and even better off-axis rejection. The integrated shock mount has been reworked. Polar pattern and handling stay the same, so switching takes no getting used to.
Do I need phantom power?
No. The V8 is a dynamic microphone and works on any XLR mic input. If phantom power happens to be on, it does no harm.
Does the V8 have an on/off switch?
No, and that is deliberate: no switch to get knocked mid-song. Muting is done at the desk.
Can I use the V8 wirelessly?
Not this wired version, but sE offers the same capsule separately as the V8 MC1 and V8 MC2 for compatible Shure and Sennheiser handheld transmitters.
