Universal Audio Sphere LX Modeling Microphone

Based on the TEC Award-winning Sphere L22 acquired from Townsend Labs, the Universal Audio Sphere LX is a premium modeling microphone system capable of emulating 20 of the most renowned condenser, dynamic, and ribbon microphones from music history. Combining ultra-transparent, low-noise circuitry with the powerful UA Sphere plug-in, the Sphere LX gives you the sound of famous mics from Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Sony, and more. The system makes it possible to seamlessly audition different mics before, during, and after recording—and, with a Universal Audio Apollo interface, you can do it all with near-zero latency.

STEREO SOUND AND MORE FROM A SINGLE MIC

The microphone itself features a dual-capsule design that picks up sound from the front and rear to capture the spatial information necessary to accurately model the electroacoustical characteristics measured from real microphones. A special dual-channel cable provides discrete outputs for each capsule, and a CAL switch on the rear of the mic makes it easy to precisely match the gain on two preamps for optimal performance.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS

The UA Sphere plug-in works in any DAW and allows you to choose from 20 legendary microphone models. Using dual mono mode, you can even combine two microphone models to achieve rich, complex tones without worrying about phase and comb filtering. By combining the signal from both microphone capsules, the plug-in makes it possible to virtually alter the pickup pattern, axis, and proximity effect, and even compensate for popular isolation shields including the sE Reflexion Filter, Aston Halo and Kaotica Eyeball. In addition to the mic and plug-in, the Sphere DLX includes a 25-foot microphone cable, professional shock-mount, mic stand mount, and carrying case.
