SE electronics X1 S

sE X1 S - reissued and greatly improved:

The X1 S is the reissued version of the sE classic X1, retuned and improved in every way. With the handmade and individually tuned 1-capsule as well as the highest dynamic range and highest maximum sound pressure level in its class, the X1 S offers the sound and features you would expect from a hi-end studio mic, but at a fraction of the price.

Handmade 1 condenser capsule:

Just like its predecessor X1, the X1 S is equipped with a handmade condenser capsule, which is manufactured and tuned with extreme precision by technicians in sE's capsule room. The technicians are carefully trained over a period of 18 months by sE's master capsule maker - who has around 30 years of experience in capsule construction - and are only allowed to actively participate in capsule production after this training phase. In addition, the technicians are only allowed to build capsules for sE. This results in capsules that are manufactured in the same way as the finest musical instruments in the world, and that can also master the challenge of recording these instruments as realistically as possible.

Ultra-quiet electronics:

The sE X1 already boasted very low self-noise. The newly developed electronics take the performance of the X1 S to a new level and make the microphone one of the quietest in its class with 9dB(A) self-noise. In addition, the new electronics also improve the sensitivity and the maximum sound pressure level that the microphone can handle.

Two switchable attenuation levels:

The two -10dB and -20dB switches extend the dynamic range of the microphone and open up a wide range of possibilities, especially for close mic miking - even for the loudest instruments such as super-heavy guitars, loud brass instruments or hard kick drums.

Two switchable LoCut filters:

The two selectable LoCut filters (80Hz and 160Hz) help to limit low-frequency rumble, impact sound or heavy bass.

Metal housing and premium paint finish:

In contrast to the cheaply constructed housings of other microphones, the solid metal housing of the X1 S prevents electrical influences and noise. The high-quality paint finish also ensures that the X1 S will look great for many years to come.

Gold-plated XLR contacts:

The gold-plated XLR contacts provide the X1 S with a loss-free and reliable signal connection for years and years and years
