Description
The X1 A picks up where sE’s original X1 left off, packing a redesigned capsule and reworked electronics into that same tough, all-metal body — but for less than you’d expect. It’s the kind of mic that quietly earns its keep in a home studio, handling vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, and amps with equal confidence.
- Metal construction: The full-metal chassis shields against electrical interference and holds up to years of stand adjustments and studio moves, backed by a finish that stays looking sharp.
- Built-in windscreen: Skip the external pop filter — the integrated screen protects the capsule and tames plosives right out of the box.
- Reworked capsule and circuitry: A newly engineered condenser capsule delivers fast, accurate response across a natural frequency curve, paired with electronics that outperform typical mics at this price.
- 150dB max SPL: With the -20dB pad engaged, this mic shrugs off screaming guitar cabs, blaring horns, and heavy kick drums without distorting.
- 100Hz low-cut switch: Dial out rumble, foot noise, or proximity-effect bass buildup when you’re working close to the source.
- Gold-plated XLR output: A solid, corrosion-resistant connection that stays reliable session after session.
Pair it with sE’s Isolation Pack or Reflexion Filter X if you’re chasing a cleaner vocal chain and want to knock down room reflections.
Included: X1 A microphone, swivel mic clip, mic stand thread adapter.
