Key Features
Product Ref: 23564
The X1 R is engineered to handle high SPL environments, making it ideal for recording loud sources without distortion. From blaring guitar cabs to the booming impact of drums, this microphone can capture every nuance while maintaining clarity and precision. It's equally suitable for more delicate sources like vocals and woodwinds, offering flexibility across a range of recording needs.
This microphone features a traditional ribbon design enhanced with modern technology. The X1 R uses Neodymium magnets for a more efficient signal, while a gentle high-frequency lift helps bring out details that older ribbon microphones may miss. This blend of vintage tone with a touch of modern clarity makes it perfect for a wide range of instruments and voices.
The X1 R’s all-metal housing isn’t just for show—it shields the internal components from electrical interference and ensures it can withstand the rigours of both studio and live settings. Whether you're recording at home, in a professional studio, or on tour, you can trust the X1 R to deliver reliable performance time and time again.
Featuring a gold-plated XLR connector, the X1 R ensures a stable, noise-free connection. 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.
"It delivers useful results on just about anything. It offers good all-round performance when you need a smoother alternative to a capacitor mic. Best of all, it is very affordable." Sound on Sound
"The sE X1R captured a sense of realism on acoustic guitar that would shame many similarly priced condensers." MusicTech Magazine
