SE Electronics X1 S Microphone Vocal Pack

Full Description

Hand-crafted condenser capsule for rich, natural sound

The X1 S features a custom-designed condenser capsule, carefully hand-crafted by skilled engineers. This process ensures the microphone captures every nuance with precision, making it ideal for both vocals and instruments. Built to perform like top-tier studio microphones, the capsule offers excellent sound quality, allowing you to produce professional-grade recordings from your home studio.

The capsule is tuned for clarity and balance, ensuring your recordings are free from muddiness. Whether you're capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, or percussion, the X1 S delivers a transparent sound that enhances your mix, giving you confidence that your recordings will stand out.

High SPL handling for loud sources

One standout feature of the X1 S is its ability to handle high sound pressure levels, up to an impressive 160dB. This means it can handle loud sound sources, like drum kits or amplifiers, without distortion. Recording these high-volume elements often introduces unwanted noise or clipping in lesser microphones, but the X1 S ensures your recordings stay clean and natural, even when capturing intense performances. This high SPL capacity makes the X1 S incredibly versatile, allowing you to record a wide range of sound sources in various environments, from the quietest vocals to the loudest live instruments.

Low-cut filters for cleaner recordings

The X1 S includes two low-cut filter options at 80Hz and 160Hz. These filters are essential for reducing unwanted low-end noise, like rumble from traffic or vibrations from footfall, which can interfere with the clarity of your recordings. By applying one of these filters, you can effectively eliminate these disruptions and focus on the primary sound source. The filters are also handy for dealing with the proximity effect that occurs when miking vocals or instruments up close. By rolling off excessive bass, the X1 S keeps your recordings balanced and prevents them from becoming overly boomy.

Durable metal construction for long-lasting performance

Unlike many entry-level microphones, the X1 S boasts a sturdy all-metal housing. This durable build protects the internal electronics from external damage and blocks electrical interference that could impact the quality of your recordings. The microphone is designed to withstand years of use in various environments, making it a dependable choice for anyone who needs reliable gear that can stand the test of time. Additionally, the gold-plated XLR connector ensures a solid connection with your audio equipment, enhancing signal integrity and maintaining pristine sound quality throughout your recording sessions.

Complete with shock mount and pop filter

For situations where greater rumble control and ‘plosive protection is desired, this bundle also includes sE’s Isolation Pack. The quick-release mechanism at the base of this shock mount makes it easy to insert and remove a mic – no screws, no hassle, just one twist to secure or release. And the integrated metal pop filter can be vertically positioned to accommodate any compatible microphone, or completely removed from the shock mount if desired.
