Rode Microphones S1 Pro Vocal Condenser Microphone

The RODE S1 Pro Vocal Condenser Mic is a professional-quality microphone, specifically designed for live vocal performance. It employs a true condenser transducer for optimal sound reproduction. The frequency response is tailored to ensure clear vocals while reducing handling noise. The unidirectional (super cardioid) pickup pattern limits background noise and reduces the susceptibility to feedback. The 5-piece mesh head provides filtering of breath, wind, and plosive noises while not interfering with the R?DE S1's sensitivity or frequency response. The hardened mesh head also protects the precision condenser transducer from airborne contaminants and possible impact during performance and transit.

The ergonomic design of the S1 also makes it extremely comfortable to hold and control during performance. The S1 mic requires P48V phantom supply and will work with most professional mixing consoles that incorporate this standard. The high-level output of the S1 is electronically balanced to reduce loss over long cable runs with the additional benefit of high-level rejection of electromagnetic interference.

Rode Microphones S1 Pro Vocal Condenser Microphone Specifications:

• Operation Power: 48V
• Output Impedance: The S1 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as
• low as 1kOhm. If a load below this is used, the output signal
• level will be reduced
