sE Electronics X1S Condenser Microphone

Product details

THE NEW GOLD STANDARD IN AFFORDABLE CONDENSERS

When sE introduced the X1 in 2010, it redefined the potential of an affordable hand-crafted condenser microphone. Featuring the highest dynamic range and SPL handling capabilities in its class, along with dramatically increased flexibility, the X1 S has been improved in every way - yet is even more affordable than the original.

Features

• Custom-designed hand-crafted true condenser capsule individually tuned in our own factory
• A refined version of sE's best-selling X1
• Improved sensitivity, dramatically increased SPL handling (up to 160dB!), and a huge reduction in self-noise.
• Hand-made metal housing and gold-sputtered diaphragms
• 80 /160 Hz bass-cut filters and -10 / -20 dB pads
