Universal Audio Sphere DLX Modeling Microphone

The Universal Audio Sphere DLX modeling microphone gives you an unprecedented level of tonal versatility and control. This groundbreaking mic and its accompanying state-of-the-art software allow you to record through 38 precise emulations of the most coveted studio transducers ever made. With advanced modeling capabilities, you can craft your ideal mic locker and dial in a huge range of classic sounds, whether you're a producer, engineer, musician, or podcaster. UA's industry-leading modeling technology is the engine that drives the Sphere DLX large-diaphragm condenser. The brand’s relentless pursuit of analog-emulated perfection lets you virtually swap out microphones with a mouse click, auditioning various models before, during, and after recording. Choose from 38 faithful recreations of iconic ribbons, condensers, and dynamics from esteemed makers like Neumann, TELEFUNKEN, AKG, and Sony—and save thousands in the process. Suddenly, those prized vintage U 47s and C12s become an option for any session. The UA Sphere DLX’s dual-capsule design means you can record in stereo with a single mic. Effortlessly translate the immersive qualities of a performance precisely as it sounds in the room—piano, strings, overheads, and acoustic guitar are just a handful of instruments that sound larger than life. It’s also possible to use different microphone models for the left and right channels, so you can sonically paint with unique, handpicked colors suiting your individual taste palette. Using Dual Mode, you can additionally blend a pair of mono mics for thick tones on sources like drums and guitar amps. Love the sound of an SM57 and MD 421 on a speaker cabinet? Record a mono combo of the famed recipe. Typically, you’re stuck with a standard mic’s sound once you press record, but the Universal Audio Sphere DLX gives you the versatility to tweak polar patterns, proximity effect, and other nuanced sonic details after tracking. This unlocks a new level of creative freedom in your recordings. At any time during production, you can experiment with different mic positions and settings that would take hours of trial, error, and refinement using traditional gear and methods. You have the power to tweak your tones until they’re utterly ideal, saving immense time and effort compared to standard studio workflows. With just one golden take, you can shape the sound until it’s perfect for the tune.

The UA Sphere DLX incorporates IsoSphere software to reduce room coloration and ambient noise in your recordings. This advanced processing allows you to capture crisp, clean sound anywhere, whether it’s your bedroom, dining area, den, home studio, or rehearsal space. IsoSphere models a range of popular reflection filters for enhanced fidelity in untreated acoustic environments, in addition to offering an emulation of a studio vocal booth for a moderately more open but still controlled tonality. Your tracks will translate with stunning clarity, giving you a professional edge while recording vocals, instruments, or dialogue.

With its seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and unparalleled sonic malleability, the Universal Audio Sphere DLX modeling microphone delivers a creatively limitless production experience, letting users explore an array of legendary sounds in an easy-to-use hardware-software package.
