SE Electronics X1S Studio Bundle Cardioid Mic W/Samson MK10 Boom Mic Stand/Cable

Meet the X1 S, the new gold standard in affordable condensers. The X1 S is a refined version of SE's best-selling X1, tuned for advanced performance in every way imaginable. When SE introduced the X1 in 2010, it redefined the potential of an affordable hand-crafted condenser microphone. With the highest dynamic range and SPL handling capabilities in its class, along with expanded features that dramatically increase its flexibility, the X1 S has been improved in every way - yet is even more affordable than the original. Custom-Designed, Hand-Crafted Capsule Just like its predecessor, the X1 S utilizes a hand-made condenser capsule, meticulously constructed and tuned in sE's capsule room by technicians with decades of experience. This result in a capsule built like the world's finest musical instruments - and a capsule truly up to the challenge of recording them. High-Performance Electronics Where the original X1 was powerful, the redesigned electronics of the X1 S take its performance to a whole new level, giving it the highest dynamic range in its class. Its internal redesign also allows for improved sensitivity, dramatically increased SPL handling (up to 160dB!) and a huge reduction in self-noise. Two Switchable Attenuation Levels The -10 dB and -20 dB pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments...think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments and heavy-footed kick drums. Two Switchable Low-Cut Filters Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques. All-Metal Housing And Premium Finish Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 S's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise - and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come. Gold-Plated XLR Connector Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years and years and years and...The X1 S also comes standard with a mic clip that will securely attach it to any mic stand. -- RF-X Reflection Filter -- The RF-X is an instant vocal booth for any home studio. Unwanted room sound interfering with your recordings? With the RF-X, anyone can capture a great-sounding recording anywhere. Using the same design technology as the industry standard Reflexion Filter PRO, the RF-X was conceived to answer the needs of the discerning recording artist working on a budget. With its lightweight vented body and an efficient, redesigned clamp assembly, the RF-X is simplicity itself, providing stellar performance and ease-of-use.New materials have been developed to make the RF-X lighter than its predecessors but also to maintain its durability - helping to position the RF-X as a versatile product suited for any challenging working environment. It features a four-layer acoustic filter design comprised of the outer vented composite panel, a wool fabric layer, an air gap layer and an inner acoustic foam layer. This multi-layer design differentiates the RF-X from its competitors by filtering frequencies evenly across the whole spectrum, helping to ensuring that recordings exhibit almost zero sound coloration when using the filter. And just like the RF Pro and RF SPACE, each RF-X is assembled by hand in the SE factory. -- Isolation Pack -- Quick-release shock mount with integrated, adjustable pop filter. The Isolation Pack is a great add-on for anyone looking to increase the versatility of their X1 Series or sE2200 Series mic. The integrated quick-release mechanism at the base of the shock mount makes it easy to insert or remove a mic. No screws, no hassle, just one twist to secure or release. Made from metal (rather than delicate fabric), the pop filter can be vertically positioned to accommodate any of the above mics or completely removed from the shock mount if desired. The Isolation Pack comes included with the X1 S Vocal Pack and X1 S Studio Bundle.
