  • Fits tight setups with side-address 90° capsule design

sE Electronics sE7 SideFire Overview

The sE7 SideFire is a compact condenser microphone made for musicians, engineers and content creators who need precision miking in limited space. Its 90° side-address design gives you more control over mic placement, especially when space is tight or you're aiming for a cleaner visual setup.



Built around the same platform as the original sE7, the SideFire delivers balanced, natural audio with a fast transient response. A -20dB switchable pad lets you mic louder instruments like brass or snare without distortion, while the low-cut filter helps remove low-frequency rumble. This makes it a solid choice for acoustic instruments, piano and drum overheads.



The mic includes a robust clip, thread adapter and windscreen. Everything’s built into a durable, all-metal chassis that helps block interference and stands up to life on the road.

Side-address design makes placement easier

The 90° capsule design helps with mic placement in tighter spaces. Unlike standard pencil condensers, the SideFire picks up sound from the side, giving you more flexibility to aim it exactly where you need it. This makes it ideal for discreet setups in crowded studios or tight live rigs.

It’s particularly handy when close-miking drums, piano or acoustic instruments, letting you capture clean sound without crowding the source. Plus, the sideways orientation allows for underhead or creative angle techniques that standard pencil mics can’t manage as easily.

Clear, natural sound with fast transient response

The SideFire shares its core design with the proven sE7, known for delivering neutral, clean audio. Its ultra-thin diaphragm captures fast transients with ease, making it great for plucked strings, picked guitars, or percussive playing.

Combined with a cardioid polar pattern, it focuses tightly on the sound source while rejecting off-axis noise. So whether you’re recording in a treated studio or a slightly noisier home setup, you get focused and consistent results.

Built-in pad and filter give more control

The -20dB switchable pad is ideal for miking louder sources like brass or close drum setups. It helps avoid distortion when pushing the mic close to an aggressive sound source, giving you a more usable signal without having to rely entirely on your interface gain settings.

The 80Hz low-cut filter is another handy tool, cutting out rumble or low-end build-up from mic stand vibrations or room resonance. It’s also great for tidying up mixes when you’re recording acoustic instruments with extra proximity effect.

Rugged design and reliable performance

The full-metal housing gives the SideFire a solid feel and added resistance against electrical interference. It’s finished with a high-quality coating to handle wear and tear, making it a good fit for stage use as well as the studio.

Each mic includes a windscreen and a sturdy clip with a thread adapter to fit most standard mic stands. The SideFire is compact, tough, and ready for demanding recording environments wherever you go.
