sE7 sideFire
Small-diaphragm condenser · Cardioid · 20–20,000 Hz
- The sE7 capsule turned 90° — it points sideways, so it hangs in front of a guitar cab without a stand leg in the walkway.
- Same 136 / 156 dB SPL and 16 dB(A) noise floor as the end-address sE7.
Frequency response
No response curve yet.
MicSense only draws a curve traced from a graph the manufacturer actually publishes — it never estimates one from the microphone’s class. sE Electronics publishes figures for the sE7 sideFire but no response graph, so the numbers are in the spec table below and the chart stays empty.
Polar pattern
Generated from the first-order directivity formula for cardioid. It illustrates the pattern type — it is not a measurement of this individual model.

What it gets used for
- Guitar cab
- Acoustic instrument
- Overhead
MicSense tags microphones by the job on a live stage, not by studio category — so you can filter for “kick in” or “monitor vocal” instead of working backwards from “large-diaphragm condenser”.
Compare it against the alternatives.
MicSense lets you put up to four microphones side by side — spec table, overlaid response curves and polar diagrams on one screen. Free with a free Squaresmile account.
