SE Electronics X1 A condenser microphone

Specifications

The X1 A: It could be your first microphone, but it will never be one you want to replace. There's a new entry point to sE's acclaimed X1 series, and it breaks (again) the performance barrier for any microphone in its class.

The X1 A is the new entry point to sE's acclaimed X1 series. It is designed to be the best offering on the home recorder market, bringing the heritage of the X1 series to a wider user base worldwide.

The entire team has worked extremely hard on this completely new acoustic design, which delivers an impressively pristine sound that you would expect from a much more expensive product. The new X1 A not only delivers the best sound quality in its class for its price, but also convinces with its useful features, high dynamic range and impressive workmanship.

Completely new acoustic design

The X1 A delivers best-in-class sound quality thanks to the newly developed acoustic design with a carefully selected condenser capsule. The impeccable sound quality without coloration ensures a wide range of applications. Thanks to its carefully selected capsule, it offers an even, balanced frequency response.

The electronics have also undergone a complete overhaul, exhibiting better specs and sound - on and off the test bench - than any other microphone in its class.

Cushioning pad and low cut switch

The -20 dB pad switch offers an extended dynamic range, allowing for a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments... think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass and heavy-footed kick drums.

The 100 Hz low-cut switch helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or footstep noise and compensates for excessive bass with close-mic techniques (proximity effect).

All-metal housing and high-quality finish

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 A's all-metal chassis provides efficient suppression of electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.

Integrated windshield

Eliminates the need for an external pop filter and provides an extra layer of safety and security for the all-important capsule.

Gold-plated XLR connector

Guarantees loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years.

Standard accessories

The X1 A comes complete with a rock solid, newly designed swivel microphone clip and threaded adapter that fits any microphone stand. When you need extra rumble control, the X1 A integrates perfectly with sE's Isolation Pack, as well as the Reflexion Filter X - recommended for an instant professional vocal recording setup for your home studio.

From vocals to acoustic instruments to electric guitars or percussion, the X1 A is the perfect choice for any musician looking for a high-quality microphone at an entry-level price point.
