Condenser microphone for vocals and versatile recording
The SE Electronics X1S Vocal Pack centres on a refined condenser microphone that builds on the X1 from 2010. Its handmade condenser capsule is carefully constructed and tuned by sE technicians, while the X1 S offers very low self-noise, improved sensitivity and higher SPL compared to its predecessor. That makes this condenser microphone suitable not just for vocals, but for a wide range of recording situations as well.
The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches expand the dynamic range, so you can also work with high sound pressure levels. Close-mic use on electric guitars, fortissimo brass and kick drums is explicitly mentioned in the product information, which makes the X1S Vocal Pack a strong choice for home recording, project studio and broader studio use.
SE Electronics X1S Vocal Pack with practical control
The low-cut filter can be switched to 80Hz or 160Hz. This helps remove low-frequency noise and compensates for the proximity effect peak that can occur when miking very close. It gives you more control over the signal before it reaches the preamp.
The all-metal housing sets the SE Electronics X1S apart from many simply built entry-level microphones. That construction helps suppress electrical interference and noise. The pack also includes a 3 metre XLR cable and the SE Isolation Pack, a solid shockmount with an integrated adjustable pop filter.
