The entry-level Sennheiser XS 1 is a cardioid, dynamic
microphone that excels at vocals and speech
FOR MUSIC LOVERS AND PRESENTERS
The XS 1 features balanced, full-bodied sound with a slight
emphasis on the treble, which ensures that vocals will easily cut
through high on-stage sound levels. Its cardioid pick-up pattern
provides additional isolation from unwanted sound and great
feedback rejection. The capsule is shock-mounted to minimise
handling noise, while the mic’s frequency response (55 to 16,000
Hz) filters out any structure-borne low-frequency noise.
IN FULL CONTROL
The XS 1 provides great ease of use, with a silent Mute switch
that puts users in full control of their sound transmission.
Whenever the switch is not needed, it can be securely locked
in the “On” position. The microphone has been designed to be
rugged enough to take on a life of performing – with an all-metal
body and a hardened sound inlet basket to protect its capsule.
The XS 1 cardioid dynamic microphone is delivered with a stand
mount and a leatherette pouch for transport.
