The X1 A 25th Anniversary Edition: Where Pro Recording Starts — and Now Looks the Part

In the world of recording, first impressions matter — not just to your ears, but to your eyes. Whether you’re tracking in a bedroom studio, producing a podcast, or building your dream setup, the gear you choose reflects your creative identity.

That’s why we’re proud to unveil a fresh chapter for one of our most trusted microphones: the X1 A 25th Anniversary Edition — a limited collector’s release that reimagines the look of our beloved entry-level condenser mic without touching the performance that made it a home-studio standard worldwide.
 
A Visual Upgrade That Feels Premium

The X1 A’s internals remain the same — the sound you know and love — but you’ll see the difference right away. Our new refined metal finishing process gives the entire body a cohesive, polished look, extending even to the front and rear grille bar, which was previously unpainted.

The result: a sleeker, more unified design that feels professional, refined, and ready for the modern studio.
 
A New Era of Color and Creativity

This isn’t just a facelift — it’s the beginning of something bigger. Our updated finishing process now allows for virtually unlimited color combinations. Bold, minimal, vintage, or fully custom — personalization is officially part of the sE manufacturing process.

That opens the door for:

• Artist and dealer collaborations
• Studio-branded editions
• Genre-inspired colorways
• Custom finishes for future series

We’re starting with two striking versions — Red & Black and White & Black — but the creative possibilities are endless.

The X1 A: The Go-To Mic for Getting Started Right

Since its debut, the X1 A has set the standard for affordable, no-compromise recording. It’s become a trusted companion for vocalists, instrumentalists, educators, and engineers who want professional sound without breaking the bank.

Key features include:

• Internally shock-mounted condenser capsule
• 20Hz–20kHz frequency range
• Cardioid pickup pattern for focused recordings
• Integrated pad and low-cut switches
• Durable all-metal chassis

From vocals and acoustic guitars to streaming and voiceovers, the X1 A delivers clarity, consistency, and reliability — perfect for both first-time producers and seasoned pros.

 
Limited Edition: 25th Anniversary Collector’s Models

To celebrate 25 years of sE Microphones, we’re releasing a limited run of X1 A models in Red & Black and White & Black, featuring the upgraded finish and anniversary branding. It’s your chance to own a piece of sE history — before the X1 A family expands with even more bold designs.

 
Why Looks Matter in Today’s Studio

In modern recording culture, gear isn’t just about function — it’s part of your aesthetic. From livestreams to behind-the-scenes clips, the look of your setup reflects your taste, your professionalism, and your brand.

With the new X1 A design and the creative possibilities it unlocks, you’ll enjoy the same trusted performance — now in a form that can evolve with your vision.
