Ready-to-record Bundle with Mic, Shockmount, Pop Filter, and Cable

The sE Electronics X1 S Vocal Pack gives you everything you need to start recording in your project or home studio. The X1 Vocal Pack includes all your recording essentials: an sE X1 S condenser microphone, a shockmount, an sE Metal Pop Filter, and a high-quality 3m mic cable. The unique shockmount mounting system makes for quick and easy setup. Whether you’re recording vocals, acoustic instruments, or anything else, there’s big value in the sE Electronic X1 S Vocal Pack.

Cardioid by design for the perfect balance of tone and isolation

Multi-pattern mics are great when the job calls for extra versatility, but a fixed cardioid condenser microphone like the X1 S offers consistency and a simpler, more direct signal path. The result is the kind of clarity and low-noise performance you’re bound to hear in your mix. And since, in the majority of cases, you’re going to want a cardioid polar pattern anyway, the X1 S provides the performance you need, without making you pay for features you may not need.

A go-to choice for all kinds of vocals and acoustic instruments

One of the main uses Sweetwater Sales Engineers recommend the sE Electronics X1 S condenser microphone for is tracking vocals. Male, female — it doesn’t matter to the X1 S. Its smooth and forgiving sound brings out the fullness in any kind of vocal style. This same broad and somewhat flattering tone also makes the X1 S an excellent microphone choice when you’re tracking acoustic instruments, especially when it comes to the extended range of the acoustic guitar.

Switchable pad and bass rolloff provide added versatility

When you’re up against a particularly boomy or overwhelmingly loud sound source, such as when you’re close miking a guitar cabinet or acoustic drum kit, the X1 S offers a couple of tricks that will help you get the best possible sound, right at the source. For starters, there’s an onboard two-position low-cut filter, which serves double duty by cutting out any low-frequency vibrations coming up through the mic stand and by mitigating the proximity effect you’ll get when you place your mic very close to a sound source. If that’s not enough to keep your preamp from overloading, just kick in the X1 S’s 10dB pad for the extra headroom you need, or the 20dB pad for maximum headroom. The X1 S can handle sound sources up to 160dB SPL without distorting.
