sE Electronics V8 Graphite Grey Microfon vocal dinamic

Premium Dynamic Vocal Microphone for the Stage

The sE Electronics V8 Graphite Grey is a dynamic vocal microphone engineered for live performance. Built on the foundation of sE's acclaimed V7, the V8 introduces a newly developed DMCV8 capsule that delivers greater clarity, natural detail, and an open vocal sound that feels "finished" before EQ. The V8 Graphite Grey is the right choice for lead vocalists and front-of-house engineers who need a stage microphone that combines studio-grade detail with bulletproof touring reliability.

What Sets the V8 Apart

At the heart of the V8 is the new DMCV8 dynamic capsule, paired with an integrated wave guide that tightens the supercardioid pattern for exceptional feedback rejection. A patented integrated shock mount minimizes handling noise in arena-sized venues, while the switchable internal windscreen reduces plosives without choking the high end. The spring-steel grille features a signature beveled edge that prevents the mic from rolling on flat surfaces — a small but invaluable detail for working stages.

Capsule Design and Tonal Character

The capsule is where the V8 earns its flagship status. sE designed the DMCV8 from the ground up to give live vocals a more open, detailed character than its predecessor.

• Capsule Type: Dynamic — no phantom power required, ready for any stage rig
• Magnet: Neodymium — strong output for clean, articulate vocal capture
• Sensitivity: -53 dBV (2.2 mV/Pa) — strong output level that pairs well with most live consoles

Pickup Pattern and Frequency Range

A tight supercardioid pattern focuses on the vocalist's mouth while rejecting monitor bleed and stage noise — critical for loud stages and IEM-heavy rigs.

• Polar Pattern: Supercardioid — highly focused rejection for high gain-before-feedback
• Frequency Range: 25 Hz – 21 kHz — extended low end and airy top for full-spectrum vocal reproduction

Connectivity and Road-Ready Construction

From the gold-plated XLR to the all-metal housing, every detail of the V8 is built for professional touring. The package includes a holder, windscreen, soft case, and cleaning cloth.

• Interface: 3-pin male XLR, gold-plated — secure, loss-free signal connection show after show
• Impedance: 300 Ohm — standard for professional live microphone inputs
• Dimensions & Weight: 189 mm × 54 mm, 340 g — substantial feel without being unwieldy during long sets

Who Should Choose the V8 Graphite Grey

The V8 is the right choice for lead vocalists, front-of-house engineers, and touring artists who need a stage microphone that delivers more than a stock dynamic can offer. It suits rock, pop, country, gospel, and metal singers who need a mic that holds up to aggressive technique while preserving vocal nuance. Broadcasters, podcasters, and speech users will also appreciate the open, finished sound that requires minimal EQ. For performers upgrading from the V7 or stepping up from entry-level dynamics, the V8 offers a clear, audible leap in clarity, detail, and feedback rejection.

The sE Electronics V8: An Evolution of the V7

sE Electronics built the V8 on the foundation of its award-winning V7. The sE Electronics V8 Graphite Grey represents a deliberate evolution — a new capsule, new shock mount, and refined body designed to push live vocal reproduction closer to studio quality. The Graphite Grey finish adds a fingerprint-resistant surface and a refined stage presence that complements its high-end acoustic performance.
