sE Electronics X1 S Studio Microphone & RF-X Vocal Recording Bundle

Transform any untreated room, home studio, or bedroom workspace into a professional recording suite. The sE Electronics X1 S Studio Microphone & RF-X Vocal Pack combines a refined, hand-built large-diaphragm true condenser microphone with sE's industry-standard acoustic isolation technology. Built to outperform entry-level microphones, the X1 S bundle includes an integrated shockmount, professional pop filter, and premium XLR cable—giving you everything required to capture pristine vocals, voice-overs, podcast tracks, and acoustic instruments with absolute clarity.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: Hand-Crafted 1" Capsule & Class-Leading Dynamic Range

At the heart of this recording setup is a custom-designed, hand-crafted 1-inch true condenser capsule, meticulously tuned by acoustic technicians inside sE’s dedicated capsule laboratory. Backed by re-engineered, high-performance internal circuitry, the X1 S boasts an incredibly low self-noise floor of just 9dB and a massive dynamic range reaching up to 151dB. This pristine signal path yields a highly sensitive 30 mV/Pa (-31 dBV) capture profile. Paired with a versatile, focused Cardioid polar pattern, it prioritizes direct front-address acoustic energy while dropping side and rear reflections out of your track profile.

E-E-A-T Acoustic Architecture: RF-X Isolation Filter & Pro Gain-Staging Control

At Angkor Music, we highly recommend this package for home project studios challenged by echo and poor room acoustics. The included RF-X Reflexion Filter® uses an advanced multi-layer acoustic design to trap stray ambient room noise and flutter echo before it can color your recording track. Gain Engineering Note: The rugged all-metal chassis features dual-stage attenuation pads (-10dB and -20dB) that boost maximum input limits to an astonishing **160dB Max SPL**, making it safe for roaring electric guitar cabinets and percussion. Additionally, switchable high-pass filters at **80Hz or 160Hz** instantly eliminate structural floor vibration, low-end rumble, and proximity bass buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the sE Electronics X1 S require phantom power to produce a signal?
Yes, it does. The X1 S is a true large-diaphragm condenser microphone with active internal electronics. To operate, it requires standard +48V phantom power delivered across a balanced XLR cable. This power is easily supplied by engaging the "+48V" or "Phantom" toggle switch located on your audio interface, mixing console, or outboard microphone preamp strip.

How does the RF-X Reflexion Filter mount onto a standard microphone stand?
The RF-X filter features a robust, specialized clamp assembly that fastens securely to the vertical pole of any standard microphone stand. Once clamped into position, the included sE Isolation Pack shockmount screws directly onto the filter’s integrated horizontal bracket bar, keeping your microphone and acoustic shield perfectly aligned and structurally stable.

What is the benefit of having two different low-cut filter options (80Hz and 160Hz)?
The 80Hz filter setting is perfect for tracking vocals or instruments with deep roots, cleanly removing low sub-bass environment rumbles, footsteps, and HVAC hum without thinning out your source tone. The higher 160Hz setting is ideal for compensating for extreme bass buildup caused by close-miking techniques (proximity effect), helping you sculpt clean acoustic guitars and bright spoken-word vocals right at the source.
