The Sennheiser XS 1 is a wired handheld dynamic vocal microphone with an XLR-3 connector, built for home singing, live performance, conference rooms and live streaming. It needs no phantom power and pays far less attention to ambient noise than a condenser, so it suits untreated rooms and mics that get passed around.
Who the Sennheiser XS 1 is for
Untreated rooms: Dynamic handhelds are the right tool when the room isn't treated, because they pick up far less ambient noise than a condenser.
Singers on a PA: It takes handling far better than a studio capsule and plugs straight into a mixer or PA system.
Conference rooms: No phantom power is needed, and it copes with being passed from hand to hand.
Live streamers: Run it into an audio interface or mixer and it's ready for a stream.
Skip it if: you're recording studio vocals in a quiet, treated space and want maximum detail; a condenser is the better fit there.
