Primarily designed for kick drums, floor-toms, and electric bass, the sE Electronics V PACK ARENA Drum Mic Kitis a dynamic microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. It's intended to be quite versatile, with four different tonalities thanks to two switches mounted on the rear of the mic. One switch controls the frequency content of the midrange, while the other changes the high-frequency capture of the V Kick.

Thanks to these switches, you can secure a rounded midrange with a softer high end, a scooped midrange with a defined high end—or the complete opposite: A scooped midrange with a softer high-end, or a round midrange with a softer high end. This allows you to use the mic with all sorts of styles of kick drum, from big-band jazz to aggressive metal. The same is true for basses. You can tailor this mic for something that complements a round, vintage Ampeg tone, or a more modern back-pickup style.

These switches are positioned on the rear of the mic, and this helps with live-sound functionality. With different bands switching their instruments between sets, this mic can be of service in keeping changeover time to a minimum in club venues.

At the heart of the V Kick is its DMC7 SB capsule, which utilizes an aluminum voice coil for a transient-rich sound and a bottom end extending low enough to record the fundamental frequencies of kick drums and basses. Its supercardioid pickup pattern ensures little bleed, helping you isolate the sound-source from other drums or cymbals. The capsule is suspended inside the mic to keep it decoupled from mechanical vibration, shocks, jolts, and other issues.

The mic's all-metal housing is rugged, making the mic suitable for live use on the road. A gold-plated XLR connector helps to provide a reliable signal connection. With a windscreen built into the mic, it's already internally protected against winds, plosives, and extraneous noise. A black windscreen and a knurled nut for third-party mounting kits are included.

Q: 3. Is there a good case to put this equipment in? I am looking to be able to pack it up and take it with me when necessary

A: I have not seen a compatible case for this reflection filter or one like it. I surmise that a case for something odd-shaped such as this reflection filter would be unreasonably large. I have a slightly larger reflection filter that I just bag up in a clear plastic bag, or I put it into a drum throne bag if I want it padded.

Q: 4. WHAT IS THE WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS FOR THIS PRODUCT?

A: About 12 high, 14 wide, 8 deep (estimating). Perhaps 5 lbs.

Q: 5. It can be use with a sennheiser MD421?

A: This reflection filter can be used with the Sennheiser MD 421 dynamic microphone to prevent unwanted ambient sound.

Q: 6. If I am using this with a Blue Snowball Microphone, can I place this filter flat onto a table so it surrounds my small mic? Or does it have to be mounted to a microphone stand?

A: If it were me,..I would either set a cork mat or blanket/towel on the table THEN put the mic and filter atop of that. It might mitigate some potential vibrations or reflection that could come from the hard surface.

Q: 7. Can this be used free standing on a table or does this need to be mounted on a mic stand?

A: It can be used on a table top as long as you remove the piece in the back that would attach it to your mic stand. Works very well for VOs when its flat on a desk or table.

Q: 8. Does anybody make a foam windshield for this odd shaped mic?

A: I don't know of any foam screen that would fit this sE Electronics Voodoo VR2 Active Ribbon Microphone, but I would definitely not recommend using this outdoors. When recording vocals with a ribbon mic, a pop-filter is strongly recommended, as a strong plosive sound without protection can actually damage the microphone element. I would recommend using something like this: https://bhpho.to/3vUTYd6 .

Q: 9. will this device provide +48v Phantom power to a condenser microphone ?

A: This device is a gain booster for ribbon/ dynamic mics, and while it uses 48v to provide gain, it does not pass phantom power. If you need just phantom power for a condenser mic, here's a phantom power supply option BH #MAM48.

Q: 10. Can this be used with a Rode ProCaster? With my existing boom or should I invest in a separate mic stand?

A: The sE Electronics Reflexion Filter PRO is a rather heavy product. We recommend the use of a heavy duty stand such as the Auray RFMS-580 for stability.
