X1 T Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

There's nothing quite like the sound of a tube condenser microphone, especially on such exposed and natural sound sources as vocals and acoustic guitars. The history of great recordings is populated with vocal takes that were done on tube-powered large-diaphragm condenser microphones. The X1 T from sE Electronics is just such a microphone, offered at a price that won't break your budget. With more and more recording aficionados wanting valve microphones in their studios, the sE X1 T is sure to be a contemporary studio favorite.

The sE X1 T includes the same handcrafted, gold-sputtered capsule as the original X1, with high-quality analogue tube circuitry and a specially-selected valve to add rich, valve warmth to the already impressive sound of the sE X1, with attention particularly paid to accentuating the harmonics in your recordings.

Ideal for vocals and spoken word, acoustic stringed instruments, pianos and percussion, the X1 T is perfect for those looking for a microphone that will give a subtle lift to the low-mid frequencies and add tube sparkle to the high end. The mic has a cardioid polar pattern, and features a low cut switch and a -10dB pad.
