sE Electronics X1A Cardioid Condenser Microphone

---

IT COULD BE YOUR FIRST MIC, BUT IT'S ONE YOU'LL WANT TO KEEP FOREVER

When it was introduced in 2011, the X1 brought a new level of quality to its price point, competing easily with microphones costing several times as much. But that didn't stop sE from trying to outdo themselves again.
