sE Electronics X1-A X1 Series Condenser Microphone and Clip + sE Electronics ISOLATION-PACK

The X1A Cardioid Condenser with 20 dB Attenuation Pad from sE Electronics is intended for a wide range of studio applications such as recording vocals, drums, acoustic instruments, and more. Thanks to its custom design and carefully selected capsule, it delivers pristine sound quality and an even, well-balanced frequency response. The electronics and the switchable attenuation pad ensure a high dynamic range, with high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) handling capability and extremely low-noise components. The switchable low-cut filter eliminates rumble or footfall noise, and can also compensate for an excess of bass frequencies caused by the proximity effect. This enables the microphone to close-mic many instruments including electric guitar speaker cabinets, brass instruments, and drums.

When it was introduced in 2011, the X1 brought a new level of quality to its price point, competing easily with microphones costing several times as much. But that didn't stop sE from trying to outdo themselves again.

With a newly-developed condenser capsule and an exterior based on the rugged metal chassis of the X1, the X1 A offers first-class sound & specifications at an even better "home studio" cost, featuring an extremely natural frequency response, massive SPL-handling capabilities (150dB!), switchable attenuation and low-cut filters, and a perfectly balanced sensitivity level - so it's at home on absolutely any source.
