The most affordable professional-quality studio condenser microphone from sE delivers incredible performance at an amazing price point!
- Best in class sound quality across a wider frequency spectrum, higher SPL capability, and lower noise (please see specs above to verify)
- Attenuation pad and highpass filter makes it a far more versatile microphone in dealing with a wider variety of sources and situations where rumble etc can creep into home recordings (a common issue for home recording musicians)
Â
Unrivalled Audio Performance
There’s a new entry point to the critically acclaimed X1 Series, and it’s breaking the performance barrier for affordable microphones. When introduced in 2011, the x1 condenser mic brought a new level of quality to its price point competing easily with microphones costing multiple times as much, but that did not stop sE from trying to outdo itself again.
Â
Capsule Design
And the New X1 A is the result of these efforts A new capsule,Low noise electronics,integrated windscreen, all metal construction, and better overall performance than any other mic in its class makes it a perfect “All rounder” that means your first microphone is noe one,that you’ll never want to replace…
Â
Versatality for any source
The -20dB pad switch provides extended dynamic range,enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic technique for even the loudest instruments (horns,guitars,kick drums & more) and the 100Hz low-cut switch helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or football noise and compensates for excessive bass and close-mic frequencies
Â
The X1 A:Â It could be your first mic, but it’s one you’ll want to keep forever. There’s a new entry point to sE’s acclaimed X1 Series, and it’s breaking the performance barrier (again) for every mic in its class. With a newly-developed condenser capsule and an exterior based on the rugged metal chassis of the X1, the X1 A offers first-class sound & specifications at an even better “home studio” cost, featuring an extremely natural frequency response, massive SPL-handling capabilities (150dB!), switchable attenuation and low-cut filters, and a perfectly balanced sensitivity level – so it’s at home on absolutely any source. From vocals to acoustic instruments to electric guitars or percussion, the X1 A is the perfect choice for any musician seeking a high-quality microphone with an entry-level price tag. ALL-METAL HOUSING & PREMIUM FINISH Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other “entry-level” microphones, the X1 A’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. INTEGRATED WINDSCREEN Eliminates the need for an external pop filter, and provides an extra layer of safety and security for the all-important capsule. COMPLETELY NEW ACOUSTIC DESIGN The X1 A’s new condenser capsule design is a work of art, delivering stellar sonic performance on any source with incredible speed, accuracy, and well-balanced frequency response. The electronics have also undergone a complete overhaul, and exhibit better specifications and sound – on and off the test bench – than any other microphone in its class.
Â
ATTENUATION & LOW CUT SWITCHES The -20 dB pad switch on the left provides 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. On the right, the 100 Hz low-cut switch helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, and compensates for excessive bass with close-mic techniques (proximity effect). GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years and years. The X1 A comes complete with a rock-solid, newly designed swivel mic clip and thread adapter to fit with any mic stand. If you need additional rumble control, the X1 A integrates perfectly with sE’s Isolation Pack, as well as the Reflexion Filter X – recommended for an instant pro vocal recording setup for your home studio.
