sE Electronics V2 Switch Review

Welcome to another review of a brand-new microphone we just received from sE Electronics. In this review, we’ll be discussing the V2 Switch, a dynamic multi-purpose microphone. As you can see from the images throughout this article, this handheld microphone is excellent for stage use.

We’ll delve a bit deeper into the specifications of this microphone below, but first, we want to express our gratitude to the developer for sending us a model to review and allowing us to share our opinion with the world.

V2 Switch Build and Design

Let’s start by exploring the technical specifications, build quality, and design of this microphone. At first glance and touch, it seems robustly constructed, suggesting it can withstand extensive use, offering durability and reliability both on the road and for various studio applications.

A notable feature of this microphone, setting it apart from its predecessors and other dynamic models by sE Electronics, is the lockable switch. This feature allows you to ensure the microphone remains on, based on your preference.

Inside the microphone, you’ll find a super-cardioid capsule design, which is a polar pattern particularly well-suited for stage use. This design helps eliminate unwanted stage noise. When we tested the microphone by moving it around and speaking into it, we found that the clearest sound was produced when speaking directly into the capsule.

If the microphone is moved off-axis, the signal quality drops significantly, which is an expected characteristic of the super-cardioid capsule.

Inside this microphone, beneath the grill, there is an internal windscreen designed to minimize unwanted noises and plosives. Since this microphone isn’t intended for studio use with a pop filter, any reduction in unwanted noises is appreciated. Whether performing on a windy day or working with an artist who has pronounced plosives in their vocals, this feature is a valuable asset.

According to the developer, the microphone also features an integrated shock mount. This helps reduce handling noise and minimizes any internal rumble, further enhancing the quality of this exceptional microphone.

For connections, the microphone comes with a standard XLR connector that is gold-plated, ensuring there is no loss in connectivity and maintaining a reliable connection at all times.

Regarding build materials, the microphone is constructed entirely from metal parts that are corrosion-free, making it ideal for use on the road. There are no plastic parts that might crack over time. The die-cast zinc alloy adds to its durability, promising a long lifespan.

The microphone is packaged neatly in a cardboard box, which includes a user manual, a mic clip, a pouch for easy transport, and, of course, the microphone itself.

Polar Pattern Response

V2 Switch Sound

I’m really pleased with the sound quality of this microphone. It delivers a very intimate and warm tone. When you speak closely into the capsule and utilize the microphone’s proximity effect, you’ll get a rich, bassy signal, which is a typical characteristic of close proximity.

If you move the microphone further from your mouth, you’ll receive a crisp and clear signal, capturing only the sound waves directly entering its super-cardioid membrane.

Frequency Response V2 Switch

This is a dynamic microphone with a super-cardioid polar pattern. It features a frequency range from 50 hertz to 16,000 hertz, which is more than adequate for vocal performances and stage use.

Regarding the output impedance, this microphone operates at 630 ohms and typically comes in black. It’s lightweight, so it won’t tire your arm, making it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a new handheld microphone for stage performances, whether for vocals or amplifying other elements of your band.
