View Full Description

Specialized for recording drums (kick and rack toms) the X1 D utilizes a handcrafted titanium sputtered capsule to offer quick transient response capturing the accurate and punchy tone of the initial hit.

The X1 D also features a -10dB pad switch which provides additional headroom when recording loud audio sources. Additionally the bass cut switch can be used to balance the low frequency input of the X1 D stopping unwanted bass rumble caused by overly loud low frequencies.

Reviews

"...The sE X1 D gives a great balance of lows and detail at around the price you might expect to pay for a dynamic kick mic."

Paul White - Sound On Sound

"...You can really hear how the excellent transient response of the capsule captures the whole spectrum of the (kick) drum...floor toms are tricky beasts because you need to balance transient against a long low resonance. The X1 D handles both with aplomb giving both warm lows and a crisp attack."

Stuart Bruce - Future Music

"On the toms (especially on the larger 14" and 16"), the microphone offers a convincing performance accurately reproducing each stick attack immediately followed by a big and full resonance."

Dave Holmes - Music Radar (France)
