V3
Dynamic · Cardioid · 50–16,000 Hz
- The entry V-series vocal mic: copper voice coil, cardioid, and a 600 Ω output that is double the V7's.
- A broad 5–6 dB presence lift centred around 7 kHz — brighter than the V7, and the reason it cuts on a loud stage.
Frequency response
Read off sE Electronics’s published response graph and re-drawn on the fixed MicSense scale (20 Hz–20 kHz, −20 to +15 dB), so two microphones can be compared at a glance. Points between the entered coordinates are interpolated — no data has been invented to smooth the curve.
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
- FOH vocal
- Monitor vocal
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.
