LARGE DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE 'The X1 A: could be your first microphone, but it is one of those that despite being the first you will want to keep it forever. There's a new entry point to the critically acclaimed sE X1 series, and it's breaking all performance-level barriers (again) against all microphones in its class. When introduced in 2011, the X1 brought a new level of quality to its price, easily competing with microphones that cost several times more. But that didn't stop EE from trying to outdo herself again. With a newly developed condenser capsule and an exterior based on the X1's rugged metal chassis, the X1 A delivers world-class sound and specs at an even better price and ideal for any 'home studio' with responsiveness. Extremely natural frequency, extremely high SPL handling capabilities (150dB!), switchable attenuation and low cut filters, and a perfectly balanced level of sensitivity, making you feel right at home in front of any source to capture.
