Key Features
The sE Electronics sE6160 is a compact shotgun microphone built for professional field recordists, sound engineers, and live technicians needing focused audio capture in noisy environments. Its super-cardioid/lobar pickup pattern helps reduce unwanted ambient noise, making it great for dialogue or instrument miking in live or outdoor settings. The handcrafted condenser capsule delivers crisp, natural audio, while a low self-noise level (13dB) ensures clean recordings even in quiet environments.
With a robust all-metal body, the sE6160 is durable enough for touring or field production. Its onboard low-cut filter and attenuation switches give you control over rumble, proximity effect and hot input signals. With SPL handling up to 157dB, this mic performs confidently in loud stages and dynamic soundscapes.
Product Ref: 328766
The sE6160 can manage SPLs up to 157dB, making it ideal for capturing loud sources like drums, amps or energetic crowds. A built-in attenuation pad offers -10dB and -20dB cut options to prevent distortion from hot signals. You can capture clean, usable audio even in aggressive recording environments.
With a super-cardioid/lobar pickup pattern, the sE6160 zones in on your source and rejects sound from the sides and rear. This tight directionality helps improve clarity in uncontrolled spaces, including busy stages or outdoor sets. The result is more focused audio with less interference from your surroundings.
The low-cut filter rolls off bass at either 80Hz or 160Hz. This helps clean up rumble, reduce footfall noise and minimise proximity effect during close miking. Alongside the attenuation pad, these filters give you simple tools to shape the mic’s response without needing extra gear or post-processing.
Built with an all-metal housing and weighing just 110g, the sE6160 is designed for durability without adding weight. Its transformerless output and low-noise circuitry ensure clean, consistent recordings across different setups. The mic runs on standard 48V Phantom power and connects via a 3-pin XLR for seamless integration into most professional rigs.
