Based on the acclaimed X1 for natural-sounding recordings
There are a lot of USB microphones out there, and not all of them are going to give you the detailed and natural sound you really want when recording instruments and vocals. sE Electronics started with the tried-and-true design of their acclaimed sE X1 mic, with a gold-sputtered diaphragm that gives you a crisp, detailed response. Then they went to work to minimize any coloring from the built-in converter and USB interface. The result is the smooth sound of an extremely popular studio condenser mic, with the record-anywhere convenience of USB.
Cardioid by design for the perfect balance of tone and isolation
