SE X1 S Studio Bundle condenser microphone
This cardioid condenser microphone ships new in a studio bundle that includes a shock mount and a quality XLR cable. Its hand-made capsule and redesigned electronics deliver the highest dynamic range in its class with self-noise reduced to a minimum. The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches extend headroom for loud sources.
Suited to home-studio vocal and instrument recording
Singers, podcasters and project-studio owners gain a versatile large-diaphragm condenser with 160 dB SPL handling for close-miking drums or amplifiers. Buyers who need multiple polar patterns, a USB connection or a matched stereo pair should look at other models.

Questions about this item
What connection does the X1 S need on my audio interface to operate?
The X1 S connects through its XLR output, so your interface must provide an XLR input with phantom power.
Can I use the bundled shock mount with a standard microphone stand I already own?
Yes, the included shock mount fits standard mic-stand threads, so it will attach to any common stand.
How do I verify the capsule is performing within spec once I have it set up?
Engage the -10 dB or -20 dB pad, record a loud source up to 160 dB SPL, and confirm clean capture without distortion.
