sE Electronics sE7 Review / Test (vs. C2, sE8, M5, KM184)
HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/se7
Today i review the sE Electronics sE7, a small diaphragm condenser which offers a nice low end, neutral mids and a lifted top end which gives you some liveliness but it's not overdone. Like most SDCs it doesn't do great with plosives, but does pretty well with off axis coloration. I also think this mic can exagerate a little bit of sibilance.
