sE X1 A Condenser Mic Review (VS AT2020, Neat Worker Bee II, Behringer TM1, MXL 770 990 and More!)

Today, I have the sE X1 A Condenser Microphone in the Audio Hotline Studio! I will take you through what comes in the box, the features, specs and I will do a ton of tests to help you determine your own opinion on the sE X1 A mic. As usual, I do also provide a blind comparison in this video... However, this comparison is HUGE!!! This review will include a comparison of all these mics: sE X1 A (of course) Audio-Technica AT2020 Neat Worker Bee II Behringer / Tannoy TM1 MXL 770 MXL 990 MXL 2006 Lewitt LCT 240 Pro RØDE NT1 (as the "more expensive" option) A lot of these microphones are similar in price. I wanted to include as many as possible since this is a popular price tag for a lot of people's first condenser mic. Hopefully this can help you pick the right one for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you! Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
