V Kick Bass Drum Microphone

With the V Kick, sE Electronics presents a compact and versatile drum microphone. sE Electronics V Kick is designed for use with kick drums and other bass sources such as bass guitar loudspeakers, floor toms or other large drums where low-frequency signal components are of great importance. Thanks to the integrated swivel joint, the microphone can be placed anywhere. The capsule delivers a special sound character tailored to kick drums, which can be further adjusted using two switches on the back of the microphone. From classic-warm to modern-aggressive, the V KICK every kick drum sound you need.

From classic to modern: switchable voicings

Two switches on the back of the V KICK allow four different sound settings to adjust the sound - ideal for live shows with multiple bands and quick changes. Since they are located on the back of the microphone, these switches are accessible even when the sE Electronics V Kick is placed in a kick drum. With the V KICK you can always make the right choice with just one microphone.
The left switch has two options for the overall sound of the microphone. "Classic" offers a more traditional kick drum sound with a distinctive low frequency punch and a warmer, rounder sound. When a more contemporary, aggressive sound is desired, the "Modern" setting emphasizes the lower and upper frequency ranges ("Bathtub").

The right switch influences the tweeter character of the microphone. "Classic" offers a typical bite in the upper midrange (presence amplification) and a rounder and familiar sound, while "Modern" offers an open, clear and transient-rich top end for a more contemporary, aggressive drum sound. Each of these switches is slightly recessed into the microphone housing to prevent accidental adjustment and requires a small flat-head screwdriver or similar device to switch between settings.

The sE Electronics V Kick also features an integrated swivel joint that allows easy positioning within or in front of a kick drum. Thanks to its extremely low shape factor, it fits easily through the opening in the resonance skin. The XLR cable and microphone holder are arranged in parallel to avoid cable clutter.

The most compact kick drum microphone on the market

The extremely slim design of the V KICK allows effortless placement in front of or within a kick drum with a large swivel range for easy positioning. With the tripod mount and XLR connector parallel to each other on the underside of the microphone, your microphone cables remain flush with the microphone stand - no cable clutter, absolutely small footprint and easy to place anywhere.

The heart of sE Electronics V KICKthe DMC7 SB capsule

The brand new DMC7 SB capsule offers the same technologies and features as its siblings in the renowned V7 and V7 X, including the innovative aluminum voice coil. While the V7 X is ideally suited for most instruments, the capsule of the V KICK for particularly deep and loud sounds. Because aluminum is a much lighter material than the industry standard (copper), it delivers an open and transient-rich sound with effortless punch and low frequency energy capture. Also the midrange is very balanced and supports the natural resonances of percussion instruments.

The excellent off-axis performance of this ingenious capsule also helps isolate your kick drum from other sound sources on stage. This efficiently reduces crosstalk on stage from snare, other drums, hi-hat and other sound sources. Thanks to the supercardioid characteristic, you can easily adjust the low end via the proximity effect, e.g. via the distance to the eardrum.

Proven neodymium magnets, tight manufacturing tolerances and high manufacturing quality contribute to outstanding sensitivity, first-class sound quality and high reliability.

Unique, patented integrated capsule suspension

The advanced internal capsule suspension of the sE Electronics V KICK decouples the capsule efficiently from mechanical vibration, isolates it from shock and vibration and eliminates the need for an external shock mount.

All-metal housing & spring steel basket

The tour-ready housing of the V KICK consists of metal and contains no fragile plastic parts. The high-quality, durable zinc die-cast alloy of the chassis is designed to withstand years of use on stage. The basket made of spring steel is very resistant and corrosion-free and therefore absolutely reliable. The locking screw of the swivel joint holds the V KICK in any position.

Integrated windbreak

The integrated red windshield efficiently reduces unwanted pop and plosive sounds and wind noise - and if you prefer a more subtle black windshield, we include one as a standard accessory.
