sE Electronics sE6160 Shotgun Condenser Supercardioid Microphone
The sE Electronics sE6160 is a professional-grade shotgun microphone meticulously engineered for broadcast, film, and field recording applications where focused directional audio capture is essential. Built around a hand-crafted small-diaphragm true condenser capsule, the sE6160 delivers superior clarity and precision in challenging acoustic environments. Whether you're working on a documentary, capturing dialogue in a controlled studio, or handling dynamic outdoor shoots, the sE6160 provides industry-standard performance with minimal self-noise and maximum intelligibility.
With a highly focused shotgun polar pattern (super-cardioid/lobar), this microphone is designed to reject off-axis sound, delivering only what matters—your subject's voice. Its wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response ensures a natural and transparent sound profile across the entire audible spectrum. The ultra-sensitive design (25 mV/Pa) captures subtle nuances while maintaining crystal-clear performance, even at low input levels. Combined with a low self-noise of just 13 dB(A), the sE6160 is ideal for high-resolution audio production where every detail counts.
Engineered with rugged reliability in mind, the sE6160 features a lightweight, compact aluminum chassis that measures less than 10 inches in length and weighs under 4 ounces—perfect for boom pole mounting or on-camera setups. The mic supports multiple attenuation levels (0, -10, -20 dB) to accommodate loud sound sources up to 157 dB SPL without distortion. With a wide dynamic range and professional-grade 3-pin XLR connectivity, the sE6160 is a must-have tool for production teams, sound engineers, and videographers demanding consistency, flexibility, and unmatched directional precision.
