The X1 S features one of sE Electronics's hand-made, gold-sputtered 1\" diaphragms and an all-metal capsule — a recipe for clear and vibrant audio plus long-term reliability. Two-position pad and low-cut switches allow you to fine-tune the sE Electronics X1 S for any sound source, making it well suited for day-to-day studio work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid by design for the perfect balance of tone and isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMulti-pattern mics are great when the job calls for extra versatility, but a fixed cardioid condenser microphone like the X1 S offers consistency and a simpler, more direct signal path. The result is the kind of clarity and low-noise performance you're bound to hear in your mix. And since, in the majority of cases, you're going to want a cardioid polar pattern anyway, the X1 S provides the performance you need, without making you pay for features you may not need.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwitchable pad and bass roll-off for added versatility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eWhen you're up against a particularly boomy or overwhelmingly loud sound source, such as when you're close-miking a guitar cabinet or acoustic drum kit, the X1 S offers a couple of tricks that will help you get the best possible sound, right at the source. For starters, there's an onboard two-position low-cut filter, which serves double duty by cutting out any low-frequency vibrations coming up through the mic stand and by mitigating the proximity effect you'll get when you place your mic very close to a sound source. If that's not enough to keep your preamp from overloading, just kick in the X1 S's 10dB pad for the extra headroom you need, or the 20dB pad for maximum headroom. The X1 S can handle sound sources up to 160dB SPL without distorting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eA large-diaphragm condenser microphone that's excellent for vocals and acoustic instruments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHand-made, gold-sputtered 1\" capsule and extremely clear signal path provide a wide-open sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAll-metal capsule, with no plastic parts for long term reliability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFixed cardioid polar pattern provides tonal consistency and excellent off-axis sound rejection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSwitchable -10dB\/-20dB pad lets you get the extra headroom you need when miking loud sound sources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHandles loud sound sources up to 160dB SPL without distortion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSwitchable two-position highpass filter cuts out low-frequency rumble and reduces proximity effect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eRequires +48V phantom power\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisionSounds\u003c\/strong\u003e — South Africa's specialist in premium camera and audio gear.
