sE X1 Mic Overview

Whether you’re recording lead vocals, acoustic guitar, strings, percussion or any number of other source instruments, we believe the sE X1 microphone outperforms every mic in its price class.

“The sE X1 shows remarkable versatility when presented with a variety of different sources”

Simon Franglen (Avatar, Moulin Rouge)

With a hand-built capsule, 10dB pad, low cut bass filter, and finished in expensive black rubber, acoustically damping, paint, why compromise and buy a mass automated machine-made product which favours profit over craftsmanship?

Combine the build quality, sonic performance, specification and price of the sE X1 mic and we reckon it’s impossible to manufacture a better studio condenser vocal recording solution and microphone to record acoustic guitar at anywhere near this price point.

The sE X1 is one of our big success stories and one of the fastest growing mics in the sE range in terms of global sales, as more and more people realise that you really don’t have to compromise on quality, even at the entry level of the condenser mic market.
