Sennheiser XS 1 Handheld Dynamic Microphone (Cardioid, Wired XLR)
Sennheiser XS 1 Handheld Dynamic Microphone
The Sennheiser XS 1 handheld dynamic microphone is a cardioid, wired vocal mic with a 3-pin XLR connector, built for singers and presenters who want dependable, great-sounding audio at an entry-level price. Its rugged all-metal housing and feedback-resistant cardioid capsule make it a go-to choice for live performance, karaoke, rehearsal, houses of worship, and public address.
Why choose the XS 1
- Cardioid dynamic capsule — Focuses on the voice in front of the mic while rejecting off-axis noise and stage feedback for a clean, upfront vocal.
- Wired XLR-3 connection — Plugs straight into any mixer, PA system, or audio interface with a standard XLR cable. No batteries, no pairing.
- Rugged all-metal housing — Road-ready construction that stands up to nightly gigging and touring.
- Silent mute switch — Shock-mounted capsule and a quiet on/off switch give presenters and performers clean, controllable audio.
- Built-in pop filter — Tames plosives and breath noise for smoother vocal capture.
- No phantom power needed — Dynamic design works with any mic input.
- Includes mic clip & transport bag — Ready to gig out of the box.
