sE Electronics X1 S Vocal Pack – complete recording package with large-diaphragm microphone
The sE Electronics X1 S Vocal Pack is an affordable recording package for vocals, speech, podcasting, streaming and music production. The package is based around the X1 S, a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a hand-crafted true condenser capsule, cardioid polar pattern and professional features for both home studio and project studio use.
With high sensitivity, low noise, selectable low-cut filters and dual pad settings, the X1 S is built to handle everything from close vocal takes and voiceover to acoustic guitar, electric guitar amps and drums. The Vocal Pack format provides a smooth starting point for a clean and controlled recording chain.
Overview and features
The X1 S Vocal Pack is designed for users who want to start recording quickly without compromising the core sound. The microphone has a rugged metal chassis, a hand-crafted condenser capsule and a clear, balanced sound character that works well on many different sources.
Large-diaphragm microphone for vocals and speech
The X1 S is especially well suited to vocals, speech, podcasting and broadcasting. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the sound in front of the microphone and helps reduce unwanted room sound and sound from the sides.
Hand-crafted true condenser capsule
The microphone uses a hand-crafted true condenser capsule that provides clear presence, good detail reproduction and a natural frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This makes it useful for both voices and instruments.
High SPL handling
The X1 S can handle very loud sound sources, making it more flexible than many simpler studio microphones. With -10 dB and -20 dB pad settings, the microphone can be used on loud sources such as guitar amplifiers and drums without overloading the signal.
Low-cut filters for cleaner recordings
The selectable low-cut filters at 80 Hz and 160 Hz help reduce low-frequency rumble, vibrations and unwanted bass buildup. This is especially useful for vocal recording, podcasting and recording in rooms that are not fully acoustically treated.
Stable suspension and pop filter
The Vocal Pack is designed for a compact and practical recording setup with a shockmount and metal pop filter. The shockmount helps reduce vibrations from the stand and floor, while the pop filter reduces plosive sounds such as p and b sounds.
