Description
The X1S picks up where sE’s original X1 left off, keeping the same hand-crafted capsule philosophy while overhauling the internal electronics for a noticeably wider dynamic range and much lower self-noise. It’s built for engineers who want studio-grade detail without studio-grade pricing.
- Cardioid polar pattern with a 1-inch, hand-tuned condenser capsule assembled by sE’s in-house technicians
- Redesigned electronics deliver expanded dynamic range and SPL handling up to 160dB, so it won’t choke on loud brass, close-mic’d amps, or heavy kick drums
- Two attenuation settings, -10dB and -20dB, let you dial in the right headroom for whatever source you’re tracking
- Switchable low-cut filters at 80Hz and 160Hz tame rumble, stage noise, and proximity-effect bass buildup on close-mic’d sources
- All-metal body construction shields against RF interference while giving the mic a durable, road-ready finish
- Gold-plated XLR output for a stable, corrosion-resistant signal path
Whether it’s parked in front of a vocalist, an acoustic guitar, or a guitar cab in a live room, the X1S brings the flexibility of a much pricier mic to sessions on any budget. It ships with a standard mic clip, and if you need more mounting options, sE also offers X1S bundle packages with additional accessories.
