SE Electronics X1 S, X1 Series Large Condenser Microphone

SE Electronics X1-S X1 Series Large Condenser Microphone and Clip

Meet the X1 S the new gold standard in affordable condensers

The X1 S is a refined version of sE's best-selling X1 tuned for advanced performance in every way imaginable.

When 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 CAPSULE

Just 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. This results in a capsule built like the world’s finest musical instruments - and a capsule truly up to the challenge of recording them.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTRONICS

Where 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 LEVELS

The -10 dB and -20 dB 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 FILTERS

Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.

ALL-METAL HOUSING AND PREMIUM FINISH

Unlike 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 CONNECTOR

Ensures loss-free reliable signal connection for years and years and years and...

The X1 S also comes standard with a mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand but if you're interested in additional mounting and accessory options you can read about the X1 S bundles below.
