Full Description

Built to withstand high sound levels

The X1 R is engineered to handle high SPL environments, making it ideal for recording loud sources without distortion.

This helps you avoid any signal loss or unwanted hum during recording, so your sessions remain smooth and professional. Its premium construction also guarantees longevity, so you can depend on it for years to come.
