X1 S Studio Bundle Pack Condenser Microphone

In 2010, sE Electronics introduced the X1, an affordable and handcrafted condenser microphone with numerous features. The microphone had the highest dynamic range and SPL in its class and more capabilities than its competitors. Its successor, the sE Electronics X1 S, is a refined version of this modern classic, improved in almost every way and just as affordable as the original. The RF-X Reflexion Filter from sE Electronics has become an industry standard today, transforming any room into a vocal booth for a home studio. The easy-to-install filter features a multi-layer design, distinguishing itself from the competition by filtering frequencies evenly across the entire spectrum. This allows for completely natural recordings in virtually any environment. The Studio Bundle also includes a 3-meter XLR cable and the sE Isolation Pack, a sturdy shock mount with an integrated adjustable pop filter. Like its predecessor, the X1 S features a handcrafted condenser capsule, meticulously constructed and tuned by sE's technicians. Compared to its predecessor, its self-noise is very low, making it one of the quietest microphones in its class. The microphone also has improved sensitivity and a higher SPL. The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide a larger dynamic range, making the microphone suitable for a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques, even for the loudest instruments such as electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and kick drums. The low-cut filter can be switched to 80Hz or 160Hz; both filters eliminate low-frequency rumble and compensate for the peak (proximity effect) in close-mic techniques. Unlike the cheaply built housings of other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 S has an all-metal housing. This ensures the suppression of electrical interference and noise.
