HypercardioidRØDE S1

  MSRP: $599 Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

RØDE S1

Description

The S1 utilizes a true condenser transducer for studio quality sound reproduction. The S1’s sophisticated high pass filter dramatically reduces undesirable low-frequency background and handling noise. The super cardioid pick-up pattern further limits background noise and virtually eliminates feedback.

The multi-stage mesh head filters breath, wind, and plosive noise without affecting sensitivity or frequency response. The hardened mesh head also protects the precision transducer from the rigors of live performance. The rugged ergonomic design of the S1 makes it extremely comfortable to hold and control during use.

The S1 requires P48 V phantom supply. The high level output of the S1 is electronically balanced to reduce loss over long cable runs.

Terry Manning

RØDE’s new S1 microphone is carefully designed as a live condenser mic with true studio quality. This microphone has a wonderfully constructed windscreen/pop filter, a narrow hyper-cardiod pattern, and phantom powered condenser quality, all in a solid, vocalist-pleasing hand-held instrument.
