sE Electronics V Beat Dynamic Drum Microphone

Designed for use on snare and tom toms, the sE Electronics V Beat is the most compact drum microphone in its class. The V Beat's purpose-built capsule delivers an extremely natural and highly detailed sound on snare drums or toms of any size. It features impressive off-axis rejection to minimize spill from proximate drums and cymbals. The V Beat's ultra-compact design and parallel XLR connector/stand mount give it an extremely small footprint, and its rock-solid swivel mount lets you position it with great precision — aiming it at any part of the drum head to achieve the desired sonic character. And paired with sE's optional V Clamp (sold separately), the V Beat is even quicker and easier to position. GearNuts's take: as a versatile, punchy-sounding snare and tom mic, the V Beat is hard to beat.
