Universal Audio Sphere DLX Modelling Microphone with 38 Mic Models

The Universal Audio Sphere DLX is a sophisticated modelling microphone that allows users to emulate the characteristics of 38 classic studio microphones. Using advanced digital signal processing, it can replicate the sound of sought-after ribbon, condenser, and dynamic models from brands like Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, and Sony. This capability enables producers and engineers to change microphone type, polar pattern, and other sonic characteristics even after recording has taken place, providing unprecedented flexibility in the mixing stage. The microphone incorporates Universal Audio's IsoSphere technology, which uses specialised presets to reduce unwanted room colouration, making it particularly suitable for home studios or untreated recording spaces. It features gold-sputtered diaphragms designed to deliver exceptionally low self-noise. For users with compatible Apollo audio interfaces, the Sphere DLX offers real-time UAD processing with near-zero latency monitoring, allowing performers to hear themselves through the modelled microphone sound during recording sessions. The microphone can also capture stereo recordings of acoustic sources like guitars or drum overheads using a single unit. This microphone is ideally suited for professional recording engineers, home studio producers, podcasters, and voice-over artists who require studio-grade versatility without investing in multiple physical microphones. Its post-recording flexibility makes it valuable for projects where the final sonic character might need adjustment during mixing. The included shockmount, 25-foot cable, mic stand mount, and carrying case provide a complete recording solution ready for various studio and location recording scenarios.
