sE ElectronicsX1 R Ribbon Microphone

X1 R brings traditional ribbon character into a more road-ready format. Its ribbon element sits within neodymium magnets, and the design combines established ribbon technology with mechanical elements from the Voodoo high-frequency extension approach. That produces the classic ribbon sound described here with a gentle lift at the high end. The construction is positioned for high-SPL work and travel, giving musicians and engineers a ribbon option intended for regular use beyond the more delicate ribbons of the past.
