The SE X1-R is a professional ribbon microphone that combines traditional ribbon microphone technology with modern engineering techniques to create a mic that gives you the classic ribbon sound, but with the versatility of a modern microphone.


The SE Electronics X1-R is a high performance passive ribbon microphone that is perfect for a variety of applications including guitar amps, brass, woodwind, strings, voice over and overhead drums.

The X1-R features a state of the art ribbon element enclosed by top grade neodymium magnets. The microphone combines traditional ribbon technology with modern mechanical elements to produce a classic ribbon sound with a gentle HF lift. This lift at the upper frequencies gives you all of the natural beauty of the ribbon sound, but makes the microphone more versatile and easier to use than many other ribbon microphones on the market.

The SE X1-R is housed in the same non-slip, hard wearing chassis as the X1 condenser microphone. The tough grille and casing protects the delicate ribbon element for years of trouble free use.

The SE X1-R is the perfect microphone for the first time project studio buyer and is also a great addition of character and colour to your existing microphone collection.
