sE Electronics V8 MC2 Cápsula de microfone

Premium Wireless Vocal Capsule for Sennheiser Systems

The sE Electronics V8 MC2 Graphite Grey is a dynamic microphone capsule designed as a drop-in replacement head for compatible Sennheiser handheld transmitters. Built around the newly developed DMCV8 moving-coil capsule, it carries forward the proven DNA of the award-winning V7 and refines it for the modern touring vocalist. The result is a capsule that delivers a more open, natural vocal sound with the kind of detail and clarity that engineers previously only trusted in premium studio microphones.

At the heart of this capsule sits a neodymium magnet paired with an aluminium voice coil, giving the V8 MC2 a sensitivity of 2.2 mV/Pa (-53 dBV) and a frequency response that stretches from 25 Hz to 21 kHz. The highly focused supercardioid pattern keeps the voice front and center while rejecting off-axis bleed from monitors, drums and other stage sources, even in the loudest arena environments.

Road-Ready Construction and Stage-Smart Engineering

What makes this capsule stand out from generic wireless heads is the combination of sE's patented integrated shock mount and the all-metal housing with a beveled spring-steel grille. The integrated shock mount dramatically reduces handling noise, so an energetic performer can move freely without rumble bleeding through the PA. The spring-steel grille resists dents and corrosion, while the beveled edge keeps the microphone stable whenever it is set down on a flat surface between songs.

Gold-plated contacts maintain a secure, loss-free connection to the transmitter body, and the Graphite Grey finish is engineered with fingerprint resistance to keep the capsule looking clean under stage lighting. A spare black internal windscreen ships in the box for additional plosive control when needed.

Capsule and Acoustic Performance

The acoustic design of the V8 MC2 is built around the new DMCV8 dynamic moving-coil capsule, with a neodymium magnet and aluminium voice coil for balanced mid-range and detailed high-frequency reproduction. The supercardioid polar pattern delivers high off-axis rejection, reduced crosstalk in multi-mic setups and high feedback stability — three properties that front-of-house engineers consistently ask for in a live vocal mic.

• Capsule Type: Dynamic, DMCV8 moving coil — no phantom power required, ready for any wireless rig
• Polar Pattern: Supercardioid — focused on-axis pickup that rejects stage bleed and monitor spill
• Frequency Response: 25 Hz – 21 kHz — extended low end and airy top-end detail for modern vocal styles
• Sensitivity: 2.2 mV/Pa (-53 dBV) — strong output level for clean wireless transmission
• Magnet: Neodymium — high output from a compact capsule footprint
• Voice Coil: Aluminium — lightweight coil for fast transient response

Physical Specs and Wireless Integration

The capsule is engineered to fit standard Sennheiser handheld transmitters, making it a direct upgrade path for performers who already own a compatible wireless system. The compact dimensions keep the capsule balanced on the transmitter body, and the low weight prevents fatigue during long sets.

• Compatibility: Sennheiser wireless handheld transmitters — drop-in replacement capsule head
• Dimensions (Diameter × Length): 54 × 89 mm — compact footprint that preserves transmitter balance
• Weight: 160 g (0.16 kg) — light enough for extended handheld use
• Connector Contacts: Gold-plated — corrosion-resistant, loss-free signal transfer
• Included Accessories: leatherette pouch, thread protection cover, black internal windscreen, microfiber polishing cloth

Who the V8 MC2 Is For

The sE Electronics V8 MC2 Graphite Grey is the right choice for touring vocalists, front-of-house engineers and broadcast or podcast professionals who already run compatible Sennheiser wireless systems and want a capsule that delivers studio-grade clarity on stage. It suits lead singers who need a focused supercardioid pattern to cut through loud stage volumes, engineers who want higher gain before feedback, and presenters who benefit from the integrated shock mount's rejection of handling noise. Anyone upgrading from a stock Sennheiser capsule head will hear an immediate improvement in detail, openness and off-axis rejection.

The V8 Story — Built on the V7 Legacy

The V8 MC2 is the latest evolution of sE Electronics' acclaimed V Series, building directly on the foundation of the award-winning V7 handheld microphone. sE developed the new DMCV8 capsule to push the V7's proven formula further — more detail in the top end, more linearity through the upper midrange, and the same unmatched off-axis rejection that made the V7 a touring staple.
