Quick overview

Introducing the mic at the heart of the new V-Series Dynamic Drum Microphones, the V Kick. Designed to capture the true low-end essence of any kick/bass drum.

  • See full product description

The sE Electronics V-Kick is the most versatile yet compact drum microphones available in its class and is specially developed for use alongside kick/bass drums as well as bass guitar cabinets, floor toms, and other large drums that produce lots of low-frequency energy. An integrated swivel joint ensures you can position the microphone in any required mic placement.

Although the V Kick is tailored towards kick drums, you can further shape the sound using the four sound setting switches allowing you to tailor the microphone to your specific projects. The left-handed switch offers two voicing options with ‘Classic’ or ‘Modern’ settings; classic provides a more traditional kick drum sound whereas modern gives you a more aggressive sound. The right-hand switch will tailor the microphone’s high-frequency content; classic gives you a presence boost in the upper mid frequency range while modern provides you with an open, transient rich top-end giving you a more aggressive sound.

V Kick

 

The compact design of the V Kick drum mic allows it to be positioned either inside or outside a kick drum and can be swivelled into any position you wish. The voicing switches are on the rear of the mic so you can easily change them when inside a kick drum. The stand mount and XLR port are mounted in parallel with each other so the cable will stay flush with the mic stand and greatly reduces cable clutter making it easy to place in any position.

At the heart of the V-Kick drum microphone sits an all-new custom-designed DMC7 SB capsule that inherits the same technologies and features as the critically–acclaimed V7 and V7 X microphones, including the innovative aluminium voice coil. Thanks to the aluminium voice coil the microphone delivers an open, transient-rich sound with the ability to effortlessly capture of low-frequency energy and the punch you need from a kick microphone. It also offers an exceptionally balanced midrange which supports the natural resonances of percussive instruments. The capsules internal suspension decouples the capsule against mechanical vibrations effectively eliminating shocks and jolts from ruining your recordings.

The off-axis rejection of the capsule helps to isolate your kick drum away from other sound sources on the stage and effectively reduces stage bleed and spill from the snare drum, toms, hats, and cymbals. A cardioid pickup pattern lets you tailor the low-frequencies by adjusting the distance between the sound source and the mic also known as the proximity effect. Neodymium magnets, tight tolerances, and excellent workmanship provide you with brilliant sensitivity alongside a high-end sound and consistency that makes the V-Kick highly reliable.

A high-quality, all-metal road-ready chassis has been built from highly-robust die-cast zinc alloy allowing the microphone to withstand years of on-stage stress. The dent-proof spring-steel mesh grille is corrosion-free giving you perfect reliability while the tightening knob helps maintain a rock-solid hold in any position. A red internal windscreen significantly reduces unwanted popping, plosives, and wind noise, a black replacement windscreen is provided as a standard accessory. The gold-plated XLR connector gives you a loss-free and consistent signal connection for years to come.
