Like to sing? Here's some bling.
The V7 Chrome is built to perform and built to last.
The V7 Chrome is a chrome-plated version of sE's best-selling V7, a dynamic vocal hand-held microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. It delivers a crisp, open sound that perfectly captures your voice and instruments in the most natural way you've ever heard on stage.
The sophisticated capsule design helps isolate your voice from other instruments, ensuring vast amounts of gain before feedback, and its brand new, patented shockmount efficiently decouples the capsule from mechanical vibration, providing the lowest handling noise in its class.
All-Metal Housing Beveled Spring Steel Grille
The V7 Chrome's road-ready design is all metal - no plastic parts here. The chrome-plated chassis' high quality, highly durable zinc alloy is designed to hold up under on-stage stress for years, and the spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free for perfect reliability.
Also, see that beveled edge around the grille? That prevents your mic from rolling around when you put it down on top of your amp or the stage floor. (It's the little things that count.)
The V7 Chrome's gold-plated XLR connector also ensures a loss-free and reliable signal connection for years to come.
Custom Chrome Finish
With this special plating for a unique look and feel, the V7 Chromeâs highly-polished chrome finish makes an immediate impression on stage or in the studio.
Internal Windscreen
Efficiently reduces unwanted wind noise and plosive pops. Weâve also included a spare internal windscreen in âsE Redâ for a bolder appearance if desired.
Innovative, Specialized Aluminum Voice Coil
The DMC7 dynamic element in the V7 Chrome has been custom-developed for a crisp, open sound that perfectly captures your voice in the most natural way you've ever heard on stage - and its sophisticated supercardioid capsule design helps isolate your voice from other instruments, ensuring vast amounts of gain before feedback.
Proven Neodymium magnets, tight production tolerances high-end workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity, superior sound quality and superb consistency.
Patented Integrated Shock Mount
The V7 Chrome's brand new, patented shockmount efficiently decouples the capsule from mechanical vibration, providing exceptionally low handling noise as compared to other mics in its class. This means you can feel free to move around on stage without fear of rumbles, pops, or anything other than your voice coming through.
All in all, the V7 Chrome makes it easier than ever for your engineer to get an amazingly full, rich sound with minimal processing, so you always sound your very best.

User Quotes - on both wired and wireless versions of the V7
"I PREFER the sE V7 microphone vs. the industry benchmark dynamic vocal microphone."
- Ken "Pooch" Van Druten, FOH Engineer (Linkin Park, Justin Bieber, Kid Rock) - sE Artist
âItâs a breath of fresh air to have a mic that is not only a dynamic capsule with great rejection, but to also have a very smooth high mid response with a nice airy top end makes it a force to be reckoned with. It also responds very well to cupping, which is helpful in keeping a more consistent vocal tone. I am a huge fan of the V7!â
- Drew Thornton, FOH / Mix Engineer (Billie Eilish)
âWe love our capsules. It works fantastic with Big Sean for his dynamic changes from rapping to singing. The capsule has a very clean sound and its high output helps with not having to over-use preamps. I highly recommend it.â
-Â Luis âLouâ Rodriguez, Monitor Engineer (Big Sean)
"We are totally in love with these V7 MC1 capsules. It works perfectly with Commonâs voice and style!"
- Tim Hibbert, Monitor Engineer (Common)
âWe took a listen, did a comparison, and that was an awesome thing. It rejected better, it sounded more like Justinâs voice when we handed it over to him, and itâs just making it a lot easier on us - in front of PAs especially, because these days your artist is in front of the system quite a bit, and it just makes our job a lot easierâŚwe just really love the capsule, itâs been great."
-Â Andy Meyer, FOH Engineer (Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Guns Nâ Roses, Rage Against The Machine) - sE Artist
âThe V7 MC1 was by far the most stable capsule I have ever used even in front of a PA! They were smooth & crystal clear. I found I could place the voice right where I wanted in the mix with zero leakage even on small stages. From falsetto to full voice it was all there. These are a game changer!â
- Jeremy du Bois, PM / FOH (Nick Carter, Trey Songz, Iggy Azalea)
âStraight away the V7 sounded more like the vocal sound I was trying to achieve. With a lot less EQâing, I was able to quickly dial in the sound I needed. I was a bit skeptical trying out a new capsule at such a large show (02 Arena London) but it sounded great. The rejection was very impressive, and the bleed that was present was more pleasing and easier to work into the mix. The price also makes it a no brainer.â
- Jamie Skey, FOH Engineer (Mabel)
"I have a new snare mic now. The sE V7 beat all my usual (and a few unusual) suspects in a blind test, and now itâs my go-to. Perfect tone and great hi-hat rejection. Itâs killer!"
- F. Reid Shippen, GRAMMYŽ-winning mix engineer / producer (Ingrid Michaelson, Kenny Chesney) - sE Artist
âSwitching to the V7 was a great decision. Brought up the mic flat in a ânot so greatâ club, and even flat it sounded amazing. Very smooth top end and workable mid range. Captured Daniel Tompkinâs vocal perfectly. I will definitely keep this one in my arsenal.â
- Weston Blaha, FOH Engineer (TesseracT)
"..feels comfortable and substantial in the hand...delivers a solid, natural vocal sound with good resistance to popping and suitably low handling noise."
"They manage to sound punchy without ever being over-harsh in the presence region...[the V7's]Â extended frequency response and good resistance to feedback make it a strong performer."
- Sound On Sound, Feb 2017
"In a direct shoot out against my 57, I found the response particularly informative down around 100Hz without sacrificing any of the excitement and nuance up at 5kHz and again at 12- 15kHz."
- Mixdown Magazine, July 2017
"I am absolutely floored by the versatility of the V7. The way that mic handles the highs while still maintaining the low end qualities of my voice truly stunned me...I'm having a lot of fun with it on stage."
- Terra Lopez, Singer (Rituals of Mine) - sE Artist
"On snare, the huge bottom end of the V7 conjured a snare sound that could punch through walls...for big heavy snares, this mic is a must have."
- MusicTech, March 2017
"The V7 really allows me to keep Tommyâs vocal up front in the mix, whether he is going from singing to screaming or anything in between."
- Gary Sharpe, FOH Engineer (Between the Buried and Me, Every Time I Die) - sE Artist
"The V7 is an all around great mic that really captures my voice and blocks out the rest. Iâve had a lot of issues in the past with feedback - as we like it really loud on stage - and this mic seems to be a perfect fit for what Iâm looking for."
- Alexis Mincolla, Singer (3Teeth) - sE Artist
"We recently did a shootout with the new sE V7 handheld vocal mic against two classics, the Shure SM-58 and SM-7 and were very impressed with the V7. It had a much more extended top and bottom and the off axis rejection was much, much better than either of the Shure classics."
- John Baccigaluppi, Single Fin Studio Group
"We did an A/B comparison through the Q wedge and the V7 smoked a standard 58...it's easily worth $150-199."
- Ryan Pickett, FOH Engineer (Ray LaMontagne, My Morning Jacket, Jim James) - sE Artist
"I was shocked by how big a difference there was in off-axis rejection, handling noise and susceptibility to plosives. In side-by-side testing, the sE V7 outperformed a group of all the usual suspectsâit's a winner in my opinion."
- Lynn Fuston, Recording Engineer (Amy Grant, DC Talk, Michael W. Smith)
"With the V7, singing behind the drums is not a problem anymore. Besides the fantastic sound, the V7 isolates my voice perfectly from the drums, and now it's possible to record my vocals while drumming."
- Titus Vadon, Composer / Musician - sE Artist
