The RODE S1B is a high-quality live condenser microphone provides the ultimate performance for vocal artists. Delivering studio-quality audio while on stage without compromising on mobility, versatility or durability. The S1B features a super-cardioid 3/4" true-condenser capsule tuned to virtually eliminate feedback in on-stage performance scenarios, and a professional matte black finish. The combination of sophisticated internal shock mounting and a built-in high pass filter dramatically reduces undesirable low frequency background noise and handling noise. Multiple layers of acoustically optimised steel mesh in the microphone head filter the performer's breath as well as wind and plosive noises, without affecting the microphone sensitivity or frequency response. Due to its high performance specification and rich detail, the S1 is also an ideal handheld studio vocal microphone for artists that prefer to hold the microphone during recording. The RODE S1 live vocal condenser microphone is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RODE's industry leading 10 year warranty.
