The sE Electronics X1 A is the new entry point to sE's acclaimed X1 Series. The X1 A features a newly-developed acoustic design with a carefully selected condenser capsule, low noise electronics, an integrated windscreen, and a gold-plated XLR connector.

Thanks to its carefully selected capsule it offers an even, well-balanced frequency response while the internal electronics exhibit better specifications and sound - on and off the test bench - than any other microphone in its class.

Full Description

Attenuation pad and low cut switch

The -20 dB pad switch provides extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments such as super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums. The 100 Hz low-cut switch helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, and compensates for excessive bass with close-mic techniques (proximity effect).

Premium-quality design and finish

Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 A'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.

Integrated windscreen for optimised audio

The integrated windscreen eliminates the need for an external pop filter, while also providing an extra layer of both safety and security for the all-important capsule.
