Overview

The Sennheiser XS 1 is a handheld dynamic microphone built for vocalists and speakers who need reliable, clear sound capture without complexity. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the sound source directly in front of the capsule while minimizing ambient noise and feedback from monitors — a critical advantage in live sound environments. The all-metal body gives the XS 1 a reassuring heft and durability that can handle the rigors of regular gigging, rehearsal, and transport.

A notable feature is the silent mute switch, which allows performers to cut the signal without any audible click or pop reaching the PA system. This is particularly useful during presentations, worship services, or any live setting where clean muting is essential. The XS 1 connects via a standard XLR-3 output, making it compatible with virtually any mixer, amplifier, audio interface, or karaoke machine. Sennheiser includes a microphone clip and carrying pouch in the box, providing the essentials to get started right away — though an XLR cable will need to be sourced separately.
