V7 ENG

The V7 ENG is a handheld dynamic microphone built for electronic news gathering and field production. It uses the same acclaimed DMC7 supercardioid capsule as the V7, wrapped in a longer 250 mm handle that accommodates a broadcast flag for station identification.

Field audio is rarely captured in a quiet room, and the tight supercardioid pattern is what makes it workable. It isolates the person speaking while rejecting traffic, crowd noise, and wind arriving from the sides and rear, giving high intelligibility and strong feedback rejection at press conferences and live standups. Off-axis response stays natural, so a subject who turns away mid-answer does not go dull.

A patented integrated shockmount decouples the capsule from the housing, holding handling noise to a class-leading level. That matters for a reporter walking with the mic, passing it between interviewees, or working from a moving vehicle.

Two windscreens ship in the box. The black internal screen sits inside the grille for everyday plosive control, and the external foam windscreen goes on for gusty outdoor work.

Construction is all metal: a die-cast zinc alloy chassis, a stainless spring-steel mesh grille that is dent-proof and corrosion-free, and gold-plated XLR contacts that hold a loss-free connection over years of field use. The beveled edge around the grille keeps the mic from rolling when you set it on a table or news riser.

Built for broadcast crews, documentary shoots, sports sidelines, red carpets, and any interview recorded outside a controlled room.
