SE Electronics sE7 - Technical Specifications

3
Controls
The sE7 / sE7 sideFire features a switch for the attenuation pad and a switch for the low-cut filter.
Attenuation Switch
The Attenuation Switch is located on the upper rear side of the
microphone. When switched on, the incoming signal is reduced by 20 dB
for the capture of loud instruments and/or close-miking without
distortion. Using the switch also helps prevent overloading the input
stage of recording interfaces, mixing desks and microphone preamps.
Low-Cut Switch
The Low-Cut Switch is located on the lower rear side of the microphone
and inserts a low-cut filter at 80Hz. The switch’s top position removes
the filter for a flat frequency response. Wind noise, plosives, footfall
noise or rumble might affect the recorded signal, so enabling the low-cut
filter reduces such unwanted noise and prevents distortion. Additionally,
the low-cut filter also minimizes the proximity effect when recording
sound sources at a very short distance.
