## Summary description

## Long description

Relacart SE X1 R is a ribbon microphone designed for studio vocal and instrument capture. Its true ribbon transducer delivers a natural, warm tonality with a smooth high-end response and an intrinsic figure-8 polar pattern. The microphone is optimized for close to mid-distance recording of vocals, guitar amplifiers, brass and stringed instruments, while preserving room ambience on the rear and front lobes for balanced, bidirectional pickup.
Advantages
The figure-8 polar pattern of the SE X1 R offers symmetrical front and rear pickup with strong off-axis rejection at the sides, enabling controlled room capture and easy placement in mid-side or Blumlein stereo configurations. The ribbon element provides a characteristic, smooth top end and natural midrange that reduces harshness on vocals and bright instruments. Designed for studio use, the microphone combines consistent directional behaviour with reliable transient response for detailed yet musical recordings.
Suitable for
 Close and mid-distance vocal recording in studio environments
 Electric and acoustic guitar amplifier cabinets
 Brass and woodwind instruments
 Stringed instruments such as violins, cellos and acoustic guitars
 Stereo techniques using mid-side or figure-8 pairs and room ambience capture
Key specifications
 Transducer type: ribbon element for natural, warm tonality
 Polar pattern: figure-8 (bidirectional) for symmetric front/rear pickup
 Intended use: studio vocal and instrument capture at close to mid distances
 Frequency response: tuned for smooth high end and natural midrange
 Typical applications: vocals, guitar amps, brass, strings, stereo room techniques
How to use
Place the Relacart SE X1 R with its front lobe aimed at the primary sound source and the rear lobe directed toward the room or a secondary source when bidirectional capture is desired. Use a suitable high-quality mic preamp with low noise and adequate gain; ribbon microphones typically require more clean gain than condenser microphones. For loud sources such as guitar cabinets and brass, position the microphone at a distance that balances direct sound and room tone. Avoid active phantom-powered ribbon mics without proper design precautions; confirm compatibility with your preamp and any inline pads or protection accessories when moving between high SPL and delicate sources.
Usage recommendations
For best results, experiment with distance and off-axis placement to find the balance between warmth and presence. When using mid-side or stereo setups, pair the figure-8 ribbon with appropriate directional elements and align polarities carefully. Store the microphone in a safe, dry location and handle the ribbon element gently to maintain performance over time.
