sE Electronics V7 PTT Studio-grade Handheld Microphone with Push-To-Talk Button, Supercardioid

The V7 PTT
The V7 PTT is a talk-back version of the best-selling V7, a dynamic hand-held microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. It delivers the same open, clear sound the V7 is known for, now paired with a virtually noiseless Push To Talk button. It's built as a talk-back microphone for live sound engineers and tech crew, and works equally well for general purpose paging applications. The design philosophy is simple: intuitive, simple, and easy — just push to talk.

Effortless Talk-Back Control
The defining feature of the V7 PTT is its button. Anyone who has worked with talk-back systems knows the frustration of an engineer or crew member forgetting to mute a live mic, or a button that clicks audibly through in-ear mixes, wedges, or the PA. The V7 PTT solves both problems. Its Push To Talk button is virtually noiseless, so activating it doesn't introduce clicks or pops into monitor mixes or front-of-house sound. And because the mic only transmits when the button is actively pressed, there's no more risk of an unmuted talk-back channel bleeding into a show. It's a small mechanical detail, but one that directly addresses a common headache in live sound environments.
Signature V7 Sound
Despite being built around a talk-back function, the V7 PTT doesn't compromise on audio quality. It carries over the same open, clear sound that defines the standard V7 dynamic microphone. Its supercardioid polar pattern offers impressive rejection of off-axis sound, which is especially valuable in busy stage or booth environments where isolating the intended voice matters. Combined with high gain-before-feedback, the V7 PTT performs reliably even in demanding live settings where other microphones might struggle with unwanted noise or feedback loops. This makes it a dependable choice not just for talk-back, but for any application where clarity and control over the sound field are priorities.
Built to Last
The V7 PTT is constructed with durability in mind. It features an all-metal housing paired with a beveled spring steel grille, giving it the rugged build quality expected of equipment that sees regular use in touring and installed sound environments. Inside, it uses a dynamic capsule with a neodymium magnet and aluminum voice coil, connected via a standard 3-pin male XLR connector. The microphone ships with a practical set of accessories: a mic cradle, thread adapters (5/8" to 1/4" and 5/8" to 3/8"), locking nuts (1/4", 3/8", and 5/8"), a zipper pouch, and a black internal windscreen — everything needed to mount, protect, and use the microphone right out of the box.
Together, these elements make the V7 PTT a purpose-built solution for talk-back and paging applications that still delivers the sound quality and physical durability associated with the original V7 microphone.
Why We Love This
Our gear experts appreciate the V7 PTT because it never sacrifices sound for function. It carries the same open, clear tone as the original V7, so talk-back or paging use never feels like a downgrade. The supercardioid pattern rejects unwanted noise, keeping monitor mixes and stage communication clean. Its virtually noiseless button means no distracting clicks bleeding into in-ear mixes or wedges. And the all-metal housing with a spring steel grille means it holds up night after night on the road.
