Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The X1S Vocal Pack centers on an analog, cardioid condenser microphone with a hand-made 1-inch capsule. It connects by XLR and requires phantom power. For recording beyond vocals, its -10 dB and -20 dB pads support close placement on loud instruments, with maximum SPL handling up to 160 dB when switched. Selectable 80 Hz and 160 Hz low-cut filters offer a direct way to reduce rumble, footfall noise, or excessive bass during close-mic sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vocal recording through an XLR input that supplies phantom power
- Close-miking loud electric guitar, brass, or kick drum sources
- Recording setups that need selectable low-cut filtering for rumble or footfall noise
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without phantom power
- Recording paths that do not provide an XLR microphone connection
