The -10 d - B and -20 d - B pad switches provide extended dynamic range, enabling a wide range of applications and close-mic techniques for even the loudest instruments think super-heavy electric guitars, fortissimo brass instruments, and heavy-footed kick drums.
Selectable at either 80Hz or 160Hz, these two filters help eliminate low-frequency rumble or footfall noise, as well as help compensate for excessive bass (proximity effect) with close-mic techniques. Unlike the cheaply constructed bodies of some other "entry-level" microphones, the X1 S's all-metal chassis provides efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise and the high-quality finish ensures a great look for years to come. Features This results in a capsule built like the world's finest musical instruments and a capsule truly up to the challenge of recording them Where the Original X1 was powerful, the redesigned electronics of the X1 S take its performance to a whole new level, giving it the highest dynamic range in its class Its internal redesign also allows for improved sensitivity, dramatically increased SPL handling (up to 160d - B), and a huge reduction in self-noise Ensures loss-free, reliable signal connection for years - Specifications Microphone Type: Condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid Diaphragm
