sE Electronic sE6160 Shotgun Microphone (Matched Pair)

Suddenly, all is clear.

In a world of murky soundscapes and unpredictable acoustics, the sE Electronics sE6160 Shotgun Microphone cuts through the clutter like a scalpel through silk. This masterfully crafted condenser mic captures audio with astonishing clarity—no matter where you aim it—making it a must-have for everyone from seasoned FOH engineers and film crews to podcasters, stage performers, and roving journalists.

Originally developed with live stage use in mind, the sE6160 brings natural, ambient realism back into the mix—literally. Whether used to restore the energy of a roaring crowd to your in-ear monitors or to pick up nuanced dialogue on a bustling film set, this mic captures the sonic truth with minimal colouration and maximum precision.

The magic begins at its core, with a handcrafted, true condenser capsule—designed and built entirely in-house by sE’s engineers. Featuring a gold-sputtered diaphragm and ultra-precision components, each capsule is individually tuned to ensure world-class performance straight out of the box. This is not your run-of-the-mill shotgun; this is handcrafted excellence with a sonic fingerprint that’s unmistakably high fidelity.

Thanks to a tight polar pattern, the sE6160 excels at rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear, offering high gain-before-feedback even in demanding environments. Say goodbye to intrusive PA bleed and hello to pristine crowd capture. Need more control? A switchable low-cut filter cleans up low-end rumble, while a pre-attenuation pad expands your dynamic range for close-miking louder sources—perfect for both dialogue and drums alike.

Despite its robust all-metal build, the sE6160 weighs in at nearly half the heft of other shotgun mics in its class, making it a godsend for boom operators and mobile recordists. From stadiums to studios, theatres to urban street corners, the sE6160 thrives wherever your sound story unfolds.

Here at Musicmaker, we’re proud to offer the sE6160 to our community of discerning creatives. Whether you’re building a broadcast rig, outfitting a touring rack, or upgrading your in-ear monitoring setup, this microphone delivers professional-grade performance with reliability you can count on. It’s not just a tool—it’s your new secret weapon.
