The 2\/3\" electret condenser capsule features a pressure-gradient design for directional focus and rejection of off-axis sounds. It utilizes a gold-plated XLR 3-pin jack and requires 48V phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe metal-bodied X1 A delivers a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response along with low self-noise (16 dBA). Its selectable 100 Hz low-cut filter helps to reduce rumble and low-frequency buildup, and the switchable -20 dB pad minimizes distortion when miking loud sources such as drums and amplified guitars. Even without a pad, the X1 A can handle a maximum SPL of 130 dB. It ships with a mic clip and thread adapter for easy mounting on a mic stand. \u003cstrong\u003eThis limited edition 25th anniversary edition features a sleek White finish with a black grille.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBased on the X1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n  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.
