sE electronics X1S Studio Bundle

The X1S is a condenser microphone equipped with a hand-crafted capsule and offers a cardioid polar pattern and 20Hz-20kHz frequency range with a maximum SPL of 160dB. This highly flexible and versatile microphone is custom-designed for recording applications with an internal redesign that allows for improved sensitivity and a huge reduction in self-noise. The -10dB and -20dB pad switches provide an extended dynamic range, thereby enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for the loudest instruments. Two selectable filters at either 80Hz or 160Hz, help to eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise and help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques. An all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise. The X1S also comes standard with a mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand.

The RF-X is a portable isolation screen featuring four layers of acoustic treatment to reduce room ambience. Designed to easily fit on a standard mic stand, this screen features a simple arm and clamp assembly. The first layer is a composite polymer back panel that diffuses sound waves as they pass through. The next is acoustic-grade absorptive wool, followed by an air gap, which soaks up unwanted reflections and decouples the outer layers from the ridged inside layer. This inside layer is made from specially designed high-density foam with curved undulations to further isolate the source.

The Isolation Pack is a shockmount and pop shield set featuring a robust and lightweight design. The shockmount features a quick and simple mechanism for securing the mic in place. Equipped with a removable metal pop shield, this kit is compatible with the RF-X, Project Studio RF and RF-Pro reflexion filters from sE Electronics.
