Product Description
The affordable hand-crafted X1 S has the highest dynamic range and SPL handling capabilities in its class. Based on the best-selling X1, the X1 S has been improved in every way with expanded features that dramatically increase its flexibility. Meet the X1 S, the new gold standard in affordable condensers.
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.
Two Switchable Low-Cut Filters
Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques.
All-Metal Housing and Premium Finish
Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other entry-level microphones, the X1 S's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come.
Gold-Plated XLR Connector
Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years.
