Professional Shotgun Condenser Microphone

The SE Electronics sE6160 is a hand-crafted small-diaphragm true condenser microphone built for professional audio capture. Its super-cardioid/lobar shotgun polar pattern isolates targeted sound sources while rejecting off-axis noise. The unit weighs 3.88 oz (110 g) and measures 9.84 in (250 mm), making it practical for mobile production kits.

Ideal for Dialogue Capture and Field Recording

This microphone suits boom operators, location sound engineers and video producers who need focused pickup in noisy environments. The dual-stage attenuation switch offers 10 or 20 dB pads for loud sources, while the low-cut filter rolls off bass at 80 or 160 Hz. Creators needing omnidirectional ambience capture or stereo recording should consider other microphone types.

Requires External Phantom Power Supply

The condenser capsule requires an external phantom power source to operate; the microphone has no internal battery option. Users must pair it with an audio interface, mixer or recorder that provides standard phantom power. Without a compatible powered preamp, the unit will not function.
