Powerful. Natural. Focused. The V7 X brings all of your instruments to life. A supercardioid dynamic instrument microphone that lifts the sonic curtain in front of your sources, connecting listeners with your performance at a whole new level. The sibling to the acclaimed vocal-oriented V7, the V7 X is a dynamic instrument microphone ideal for a broad range of instrumental applications - both in the studio and on stage. Its specialized capsule’s innovative aluminum voice coil and brand new acoustic design are specifically tailored for full-bandwidth instrumental reinforcement & recording, with a perfect balance of detailed highs and deep, ultra-powerful lows, allowing for use on nearly any source from electric guitar cabinets to brass instruments, snare drums to choir, and many more. In a world crowded with dynamic microphones - and largely led by a small handful of “industry standards” - the V7 has rapidly achieved high praise from both artists and reviewers alike with its stunningly realistic sound quality, immense gain before feedback, and superior off-axis rejection. The V7 X brings these same desirable qualities to your instruments, providing a perfectly natural picture of their sound in any live or studio environment - and thus offering an even closer connection between the instrument and the listener. "The V7 X has a weight and a thickness to the low-end; it’s really an excellent-sounding microphone, and it’s really efficient in the upper mids.” - Andy Meyer, FOH Engineer (Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Guns N’ Roses, Rage Against The Machine) ALL-METAL HOUSING & BEVELED SPRING STEEL GRILLE The V7 X's road-ready design is all metal - no plastic parts here. The chassis' high quality, highly durable zinc alloy is designed to hold up under on-stage stress for years, and the spring steel mesh grille is dent-proof and corrosion-free for perfect reliability. Also, see that beveled edge around the grille? That prevents your mic from rolling around when you put it down on top of your amp or the stage floor. (It's the little things that count.) The V7 X's gold-plated XLR connector also ensures a loss-free and reliable signal connection for years to come. INNOVATIVE, SPECIALIZED ALUMINUM VOICE COIL The capsule in the V7 X has been custom-tuned for instrumental use. The upper frequency range is smooth & balanced, capturing every nuance of the player, while the lowered resonance and extended, powerful low frequency response allows for a complete spectrum of instruments: 4x12 guitar cabs, toms, snares, horns, rotary organs, or any other instrument all come through loud, natural, and clear. The supercardioid pattern of this sophisticated capsule also helps isolate your instruments from other sound sources on the stage - efficiently reducing stage bleed and ensuring copious amounts of gain before feedback. Proven neodymium magnets, tight production tolerances and high workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity, high-end sound quality and superb consistency. PATENTED INTEGRATED SHOCK MOUNT AND INTERNAL WINDSCREEN The V7 X’s advanced internal capsule suspension efficiently decouples the capsule from mechanical vibration, isolating it from shocks & jolts and providing exceptionally low rumble and handling noise as compared to other mics in its class. The red internal windscreen efficiently reduces unwanted wind noise - and in case you prefer a more visually subtle black windscreen, we have also included one as a standard accessory. Built to perform. Built to last. MADE FOR THE STAGE The V7 X was designed for heavy touring use, with a rugged metal body and grille, anti-rolling bevel, a supercardioid polar pattern for massive gain before feedback, and its custom internal suspension for superbly low handling noise. GREAT IN THE STUDIO ...but that doesn't mean the V7 X isn't at home in the studio either. The tight polar pattern makes it ideal for live-in-studio recording, as it provides excellent rejection of other sound sources around it.
