sE Electronics V BEAT — Compact Dynamic Tom/Snare Drum Microphone

The sE Electronics V BEAT is the compact dynamic supercardioid drum microphone designed specifically for snare and tom miking. Built around the same DMC7 X capsule technology as sE's acclaimed V7 X instrument mic, but in a low-profile, drum-friendly form factor that keeps the mic out of sight — and out of sticks' way.

What makes it stand out:

• Aluminum voice coil — lighter than industry-standard copper, delivering an open, transient-rich sound with deep and clear lows
• Supercardioid pattern with excellent off-axis rejection to minimize bleed from hi-hats, other toms, and cymbals
• Integrated XLR connector + stand mount — no need for right-angle adapters or special cables
• Neodymium magnets with tight production tolerances for high sensitivity and consistent sound across the kit
• Patented internal capsule suspension isolates the capsule from shocks and rim hits — no external shock mount needed
• All-metal die-cast zinc chassis with dent-proof spring-steel mesh grille — road-ready
• Versatile: works on guitar amps and brass too, not just drums
• Pair with optional V CLAMP for the smallest footprint on the rim

Ideal for: Live sound engineers, recording engineers, drummers, and AV integrators specifying drum mic kits for venues. Particularly strong against bleed-prone kits in tight stages.
