sE Electronics X1 A Condenser Microphone

sE Electronics X1 A Condenser Microphone

The sE Electronics X1 A is a versatile cardioid condenser microphone designed for home studios, recording environments, vocals, instruments, and general-purpose audio capture. Its newly developed 2/3-inch back-electret condenser capsule provides a natural and balanced frequency response with fast transient response and accurate sound reproduction.

A switchable -20 dB attenuation pad extends the microphone’s dynamic range for loud sound sources, while the 100 Hz low-cut filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, and excessive proximity effect. An integrated windscreen, gold-plated XLR connector, and durable all-metal housing complete a practical microphone designed for regular studio use.
