SE Electronics - sE6160

The sE Electronics sE6160 has been designed for situations where precise pick-up is essential. Its very narrow directivity means it can target a source effectively, even in complex environments with a lot of ambient noise. This feature makes it particularly useful for recording dialogue, stage ambiences or specific orchestral takes.

Its hand-crafted condenser capsule with gold-plated diaphragm ensures clear, detailed reproduction. Unlike some shotgun mics, which can introduce marked coloration, the sE6160 retains a natural sound, making it easy to integrate into a mix, whether for live performance or audiovisual production.

In a live environment, it is a natural choice for capturing ambience for in-ear monitoring systems. Its ability to effectively isolate the audience or certain specific zones adds a realistic dimension to the mix without compromising overall legibility. For broadcasting or filming, this recording precision means you can work with greater peace of mind, even when conditions are less than ideal.

The microphone also incorporates useful tools for adapting to different situations. The switchable low-cut filter reduces unwanted low-frequency noise, while the attenuation pads provide extra headroom to handle high levels without saturation.

Its robust cast metal construction ensures that it will stand up to the test of time, including regular use in the field. Compact and lightweight, the sE6160 is easy to position, whether on a boom, stand or special bracket.
