What happens when you take a popular top quality but affordable condensor microphone and add the unmistakable tone of a tube to the mix. It seems you get the X1T from sE Electronics. Building on the success of their X1 microphone they continue with the ethos of providing top build quality and attention to detail that you would expect in a Neumann, for the price of an entry level studio mic.
This includes the same handcrafted, gold-sputtered capsule with high-quality analogue tube circuitry and a specially selected valve that adds rich analogue valve warmth sparkle to the high end, accentuating the harmonics of the performance. The mic has a cardioid polar pattern and features a low cut switch and a -10 dB pad
The sE Electronics sE X1 T takes the same gold-sputtered diaphragm from the acclaimed X1 condenser mic, and adds high-quality analog tube circuitry for exceptional harmonic richness. You'll be able to add a sense of body to "thin" vocalists, or put a vibrant highlight on acoustic instruments. Engineers have been impressed with the X1 series of mics, and the sE X1 T continues the trend of impressive performance at a great price. When you want to add some extra character to your recordings, try the sE Electronics sE X1 T tube condenser microphone.
- Analog tube circuitry gives your recordings character
- Cardioid by design for the perfect balance of tone and isolation
- Another winner from sE's acclaimed X1 series
Analog tube circuitry gives your recordings character
In the words of sE Electronics, the sE X1 T gives your recordings "a subtle lift to the low-mid frequencies and add tube sparkle to the high end." That's usually what we're looking for in the studios when we're recording vocals and acoustic instruments. It's not overbearing, but just enough to turn a good-sounding source into an outstanding recording.
Cardioid by design for the perfect balance of tone and isolation
Multipattern mics are great when the job calls for extra versatility, but a fixed cardioid condenser microphone like the sE X1 T offers consistency and a simpler, more direct signal path. The result is a kind of clarity and low-noise performance you're bound to notice in your mix. A 10dB pad and a Bass Cut switch still give you the flexibility you need to record a wide range of sources, from delicate acoustic instruments to pounding percussion.
Another winner from sE's acclaimed X1 series
The original sE X1 has been a huge hit - countless customers have told us it exceeded their expectations, and sometimes outperformed other mics costing much more. Of course all that depends on what you're recording, but we're convinced that sE knows what they're doing with the X1 series. This sE X1 T tube condenser gives you the same handcrafted, gold-sputtered diaphragm as the X1, as well as the same durable design. We're sure that if you put the sE X1 T in your studio, you'll find yourself using it in almost every recording session.
