Universal Audio Sphere LX — a dual-capsule modeling condenser microphone that accurately emulates the sound of legendary studio microphones. Designed for professional studios and project setups, it provides access to a collection of over 20 classic mic models, offering incredible tonal flexibility and precision.
The Sphere LX uses a dual-capsule design and advanced modeling technology to capture sound in three dimensions, allowing you to adjust polar pattern, axis, and proximity effect — even after recording. This makes it an exceptionally versatile tool for vocals, instruments, and room ambience. The included Sphere Mic Collection plugin (compatible with UAD, Apollo, and native systems) delivers detailed recreations of iconic microphones from Neumann, AKG, Telefunken, Sony, and more.
Thanks to its low self-noise, high SPL handling, and ultra-linear response, the Sphere LX performs like a high-end studio microphone while offering the creative freedom of post-recording tonal control. It connects via standard XLR cables and integrates seamlessly with Universal Audio interfaces for real-time, zero-latency modeling.
