“I got the new X1 S and within 24 hours I was using it on a production for a major artist.”

What’s in the X1 S?

|---|---|---|
CUSTOM-DESIGNED, HAND-CRAFTED CAPSULEJust like its predecessor, the X1 S utilizes a hand-made condenser capsule, meticulously constructed and tuned in sE’s capsule roomby technicians with decades of experience. This results in a capsule built like the world’s finest musical instruments – and a capsule truly up to the challenge of recording them. | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTRONICSWhere the original X1 was powerful, the redesigned electronics of the X1 S take its performance to a whole new level, giving it the highest dynamic range in its class. Its internal redesign also allows for improved sensitivity, dramatically increased SPL handling (up to 160dB!), and a huge reduction in self-noise. | TWO SWITCHABLE ATTENUATION PADS AND LOW-CUT FILTERSThe -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments…think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums. And selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, the two low-cut filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques. |
Why a handcrafted capsule?
…because they sound better that way.
As with all of sE’s true condensers, the X1 S’s gold-sputtered capsule is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is almost unheard-of for affordable microphones, and is a great point of pride for us.
The ideal all-around recording solution.
