Woodbrass XM1

From the "UM1" to the XM1: the same signature, with added freedom

The XM1 carries on the DNA of the highly appreciated "UM1" by removing the USB to become a pure XLR microphone. It retains the precise and musically flattering reproduction of its predecessor while integrating into any studio ecosystem. This way, you benefit from your own gain chain, converters, and processing without compromise.

Designed for home studios, creators, and agile studios

Pop or metal singers, podcasters, streamers, acoustic guitarists: the XM1 targets those who want a versatile studio microphone that is easy to position. Paired with an interface or mixer, it delivers clean and consistent takes. Its price and reliability even encourage forming a pair for stereo recordings, overheads, or pianos.

What makes the difference daily

A large diaphragm that enhances your timbre

Its capsule emphasizes presence and warmth while preserving attack clarity. The cardioid polar pattern captures the main source with authority and effectively reduces room reflections, facilitating recordings in untreated environments.

XLR version: control your sound color

Without an integrated USB interface, the XM1 adapts to your existing equipment. Choose the preamp that fits your aesthetic, use your interface's direct monitoring, and easily evolve without changing microphones. A simple, durable, and scalable solution.

Robust, tolerant, inspiring

From intimate vocals to more powerful passages, the XM1 remains stable and musical. Its predictable behavior and included shock mount limit handling and structural noise, providing usable takes right from recording.
