sE Electronics V7 PTT Talkback Dynamic Microphone - Vintage Edition

The sE Electronics V7 PTT dynamic microphone solves one of live sound's most common frustrations: accidentally leaving a talkback microphone open. Based on sE's popular V7 dynamic microphone, the V7 PTT combines the same clear, natural sound and excellent off-axis rejection with a virtually noiseless Push To Talk button that gives engineers, monitor technicians and production crews immediate control over stage communication. Its supercardioid polar pattern helps isolate speech in loud environments, while the dynamic capsule delivers reliable performance without requiring external power. Whether used as a talkback microphone, shout mic or paging microphone, the V7 PTT helps maintain clean communication and greater control over live sound systems and in-ear monitor mixes.

Push To Talk Operation for Cleaner Communication

The V7 PTT's defining feature is its momentary Push To Talk button, which activates the microphone only when needed and helps eliminate unwanted open-mic situations. The carefully selected switch operates with virtually no audible clicking, preventing distracting noises from reaching wedges, in-ear monitors or front-of-house systems. For engineers managing complex productions, this simple design makes communication more efficient while reducing the risk of unintended conversations being broadcast to performers or audiences.

V7 Sound Quality With Supercardioid Polar Pattern

Built on the same platform as the standard V7, the V7 PTT delivers a clear, natural vocal response with impressive gain before feedback. Its supercardioid polar pattern minimizes stage bleed and ambient noise, helping voices remain intelligible even in loud environments. The dynamic capsule and aluminum voice coil provide consistent performance for talkback duties, production communication and general paging applications, making the microphone equally useful in touring, installed sound and broadcast settings.

Road-Ready Design for Professional Use

The V7 PTT is engineered for the demands of professional live sound environments. An all-metal zinc-alloy housing, dent-resistant spring steel grille and gold-plated XLR connector provide long-term durability, while sE's patented integrated shockmount minimizes handling noise and mechanical vibration. The beveled grille helps prevent the microphone from rolling on consoles and work surfaces, and the included mounting hardware, windscreen and carrying pouch support a variety of production workflows. From festivals and houses of worship to touring rigs and theater productions, the sE Electronics V7 PTT Dynamic Microphone delivers reliable communication with the sound quality and durability professionals expect.

sE Electronics V7 PTT Dynamic Microphone: FAQ

What is the sE Electronics V7 PTT designed for?
The V7 PTT is designed primarily as a talkback microphone for live sound engineers, monitor engineers and technical crews. It can also be used for paging and other voice communication applications.

What does the Push To Talk button do on the V7 PTT?
The Push To Talk button activates the microphone only while it is being pressed. This helps prevent accidentally leaving a talkback microphone open during a performance or production.

Does the V7 PTT require phantom power?
No. The V7 PTT uses a dynamic microphone capsule and operates without phantom power, making it compatible with standard microphone inputs and mixing consoles.

What polar pattern does the V7 PTT use?
The V7 PTT uses a supercardioid polar pattern, which helps reject off-axis sound and reduce stage bleed. This improves voice intelligibility in loud live sound environments.
