The D2 is very well suited for rack toms, floor toms and congas. It was primarily designed to perfectly reproduce instruments with an amplified lower midrange. With little or no gating, this microphone really comes into its own. Due to its wide frequency transmission range, the D2 can also be used for guitar combos as well as for miking a saxophone.

The Warm Audio Fen-tone™ is inspired by a classic ribbon microphone from the 1950s, built with improved, modern components to deliver iconic sounds. Like B&O's original design, the Warm Audio Fen-tone has a compact, pencil-like design with vented sides that can be easily placed in tight recording situations. Unlike the original, the Fen-tone features modern upgrades such as a custom Japanese ribbon, a neodymium magnet and a CineMag USA transformer to deliver the iconic ribbon sounds popular in contemporary music on electric guitars, overheads, wind instruments and many other instruments. Fen-tone also features a pure analogue 26 dB JFET in-line preamp that enables active use - a key advantage for direct use of the mic with low-power audio interface preamps.

sE V KICK:The V KICK is the most compact and versatile drum microphone in its class.

Tuned for instrumental use, it can also be used on sources such as guitar speakers or brass instruments. Its special capsule provides a very detailed, extremely natural sound character on snares or toms of any size, with amazing off-axis rejection to avoid crosstalk from nearby drums and cymbals. Its ultra-compact design with parallel arrangement of XLR connector and stand mount ensures the smallest footprint in its class. Thanks to the robust swivelling mount, the angle can be adjusted very precisely so that it can be aimed at almost any part of the drum to achieve the desired sound character.sE V CLAMP:The V CLAMP is the fastest, most compact and user-friendly microphone mounting system on the market. It is compatible with any standard snare and tom microphone. It was developed as the ideal companion to the sE V BEAT for snare and tom miking, but it is also compatible with many other popular microphones. The sturdy and elasticated clamp allows it to be set up and taken down in seconds, and its durable design is made for road use. The height and angle of the microphone can be adjusted quickly and easily by releasing the V CLAMP lock. This allows perfect positioning for the desired drum sound or to minimise crosstalk from neighbouring drums.sE V7 X:The V7 X is a dynamic instrument microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. It captures your performance and connects it with the listener in an unrivalled way - both on stage and in the studio.The innovative voice coil of the specially tuned capsule and the brand new acoustic design are ideal for miking any instrument - with a perfect balance of detailed highs and ultra-powerful lows.
