X1 SThe new gold standard in affordable condensers

When sE introduced the X1 in 2010, it redefined the potential of an affordable hand-crafted condenser microphone. Featuring the highest dynamic range and SPL handling capabilities in its class, along with dramatically increased flexibility, the X1 S has been improved in every way - yet is even more affordable than the original.

This condenser microphone, a refined version of sE's best-selling X1, is ideal for a wide range of recording applications. It features a custom-designed, hand-crafted true condenser capsule that is individually tuned for superior sound quality.Key Features
