sE Electronics sE6160 Shotgun Condenser Supercardioid Microphone, Matched Pair

Designed to deliver pristine stereo imaging and unrivaled accuracy, the sE Electronics sE6160 Shotgun Microphone Matched Pair is the ultimate choice for professional audio engineers, sound designers, and filmmakers. This matched pair of sE6160 microphones is hand-calibrated to ensure nearly identical frequency response, sensitivity, and dynamic performance—ideal for stereo recording applications that demand perfect phase coherence and tonal consistency. Whether used for ambient location sound, orchestral work, dialogue capture, or field recording, the sE6160 matched pair offers superior directional control, low noise, and high SPL handling to capture every detail with precision.

Each microphone in the pair features a hand-crafted small-diaphragm true condenser capsule that delivers a linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, maintaining clarity across the full audio spectrum. The super-cardioid/lobar shotgun polar pattern ensures focused pickup of on-axis sources while minimizing ambient noise and reflections—critical for outdoor recordings or acoustically untreated spaces. With a sensitivity of 25 mV/Pa and ultra-low self-noise at 13 dB(A), these mics offer high output and exceptional clarity, even in low-volume environments.

Built with durability and practicality in mind, each mic boasts a compact, lightweight aluminum body for seamless integration with boom poles or camera rigs. Multiple attenuation pads (0, -10, -20 dB) allow the mics to handle extremely loud sound sources up to 157 dB SPL without distortion. From film production to stereo ambiance capture, the sE6160 Shotgun Matched Pair delivers uncompromised audio performance and unmatched stereo fidelity for demanding professionals.
