Having gained worldwide acceptance and status as a great microphone company, Rode have, until the release of this milestone, concentrated its design efforts on the recording market. Introducing the S1, a microphone for the live performer in all of us.
RODE started the project S1 two years ago and found that there was a real need for a studio quality hand held microphone that could handle the beating of constant touring. Record with it during the day, and then take it to a gig at night", it's a killer for both applications and RODE is so confident of its integrity, they have guaranteed for 10 years parts and labor even if accidentally damaged by the owner!
The S1 features a true externally biased condenser transducer with gold plated diaphragm and coupled to ultra low noise surface mount, FET circuitry.
