It is designed for home studios, project studios, content creators, and musicians who need a single XLR microphone for a variety of sources. Its side-address format and cardioid pickup pattern focus on the source in front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X1 A uses a 2\/3-inch back-electret condenser capsule and offers a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range. Its published sensitivity of 20 mV\/Pa and 16 dB(A) equivalent noise level support detailed recording work without requiring a complicated microphone setup. The microphone is suitable for vocals, acoustic instruments, amplified guitar, drums, percussion, brass, and other close-miked sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA switchable -20 dB attenuation pad expands the microphone's ability to work with loud sound sources. Maximum SPL handling is rated at 130 dB SPL without the pad and 150 dB SPL with the pad engaged, both measured at 1 kHz with 0.5% THD. This makes the X1 A practical for recording louder sources while helping prevent overload at the microphone output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switchable 100 Hz low-cut filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble, footfall noise, and excess bass caused by close microphone placement. Its 6 dB-per-octave slope provides a simple way to clean up a recording before it reaches an interface or mixer. The integrated windscreen also helps control plosive energy and provides added capsule protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis microphone connects through a standard 3-pin male XLR output and requires 48V phantom power supplied by a compatible audio interface, mixer, or external phantom-power source. It fits naturally into an XLR-based recording setup rather than connecting directly by USB. A swivel mic clip and microphone-stand thread adapter are included for stand mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid Condenser Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses pickup toward the front of the microphone for targeted recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 Hz–20 kHz Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers the full published frequency range for vocals and instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-20 dB Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds headroom for close-miking loud instruments and amplified sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 Hz Low-Cut Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps reduce rumble, vibrations, and excessive low end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Windscreen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps manage plosives while protecting the microphone capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated XLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a durable balanced connection to compatible recording equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X1 A uses an all-metal chassis with a red finish and black grille for this 25th Anniversary Edition.
