sE Electronics X1 Series Large Condenser Microphone and Clip

Custom-Designed, Hand-Crafted Capsule: -Just like its predecessor, the X1 S utilizes a hand-made condenser capsule, meticulously constructed, and tuned in sE’s capsule room by 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 Electronics: -Where 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 levels: -The -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.
