With a hand-crafted and individually tuned custom 1" capsule, high-performance electronics, an all-metal chassis, -10dB and -20dB pads and two low-cut filters, the X1 S has the sound and features you'd expect from a serious high-end studio mic, at only a fraction of the cost.
Meet the X1S, the New Gold Standard in Affordable Condensers The X1S is a Redefined Version of sE's Best-Selling X1, Tuned for Advanced Performance in Every Way ImaginableWhen sE introduced the X1 in 2010, it redefined the potential of an affordable hand-crafted condenser microphone.
With the highest dynamic range and SPL handling capabilities in its class, along with expanded features that dramatically increase its flexibility, the X1 S has been improved in every way - yet is even more affordable than the original.
Custom Designed, Hand-Crafted CapsuleJust like its predecessor, the X1 S Utilizes a hand-made condenser capsule, meticulously constructed and tuned in sE's capsule room by technicians with decades of experience. The result: a capsul built like the world's finest musical instruments, and a capsule truly up to the challenge of recording them.
High-Performance ElectronicsWhere the original X1 was powerful, the redesigned electronics of the X1 S take its performance to a whole new level, giving it the highest dynamic range in its class. Its internal redesign also allows for improved sensitivity, dramatically increased SPL handling (up to 160dB), and a huge reduction in self-noise.
Two Switchable Attenuation LevelsThe -10dB and -20dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments. Think: super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums.
Two Switchable Low-Cut FiltersSelectable at either 80Hz or 160 Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noises, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.
All-Metal Housing and Premium FinishUnlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 S's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.
Gold-Plated XLR ConnectionsEnsures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years.
