Open Box sE Electronics V Kick Dynamic Drum Microphone Level 1

Dial in low-end impact with precision using the sE Electronics V KICK dynamic kick drum microphone, a compact, high-SPL solution built for modern drum capture. Designed for kick drum, floor tom and bass cabinet applications, the V KICK combines a custom DMC7 SB capsule with a supercardioid polar pattern to deliver focused low-frequency punch while controlling bleed on stage or in the studio. Dual rear switches provide four distinct voicing options, allowing engineers to move from classic, rounded tones to more modern, aggressive attack without changing microphones. With its low-profile design and integrated swivel joint, the V KICK adapts easily to tight mic placements where space and positioning are critical.

Custom Capsule, Low-End Frequency Response and Four Voicing Options

Forming the core of the V KICK is the DMC7 SB dynamic capsule, designed to capture the weight and definition required for kick drum and low-frequency instruments. With a frequency response spanning 20Hz to 19kHz, the microphone delivers extended low-end depth alongside controlled high-frequency presence for added attack and clarity. Two rear-mounted switches control the microphone’s overall voicing and high-frequency response independently, allowing users to shift between Classic and Modern tonal profiles for the full signal or apply a presence boost to the high-frequency shelf only. This creates four distinct voicing combinations that can be adjusted quickly during setup or soundcheck, giving engineers precise control over low-end weight and attack without relying on external EQ.

Compact Design for Flexible Placement

The V KICK’s compact form factor makes it easy to position inside or just outside a kick drum, even in tight setups where larger microphones can be difficult to place. An integrated swivel joint allows precise angle adjustment without additional hardware, while the side-address XLR connection helps keep cabling clear of pedals, stands and drum hardware. This streamlined design supports fast setup and consistent placement, whether working on a crowded stage, in a rehearsal space or during multi-mic studio sessions.

Durable Build for Live and Studio Use

Built with an all-metal housing and spring steel grille, the V KICK is designed to handle the demands of regular transport and high-energy performance. A patented internal capsule suspension system helps reduce mechanical vibration and handling noise, maintaining a stable signal during intense playing. With its combination of rugged construction, compact footprint and adaptable voicing, the sE Electronics V KICK dynamic kick drum microphone provides a reliable solution for drummers and engineers who need consistent low-end capture across a range of musical styles.
