20 microphones in one

The Universal Audio Sphere LX is a modelling microphone capable of reproducing the tonal characteristics of 20 classic microphones of varying architectures, including renowned studio standards and rare vintage models such as the Neumann U47 and AKG C12. Users can fine-tune key parameters, such as polar pattern settings, even during post-production. The Sphere LX offers the unique capability to blend the tonal characteristics of two different models and naturally minimise unwanted acoustic reflections. The included Y-cable connects the microphone to two inputs on an audio interface, enabling its advanced modelling features. Compared to the DLX model, the LX offers a streamlined profile and specialises in mono recording applications.

Renowned low-latency monitoring

As a modelling microphone, the Universal Audio Sphere LX works in tandem with its dedicated Sphere plugin, which applies advanced DSP processing to shape the capsule's response and achieve the characteristics of vintage microphones. When paired with a Universal Audio Apollo interface, the modelling process is entirely handled by the DSP engine, virtually eliminating latency and CPU load on the system. Additionally, the Sphere LX is compatible with any audio interface featuring two microphone inputs with phantom power. In such setups, the Sphere plugin can be accessed as an effect within a DAW, utilising the host computer's processing power to apply the modelling effects in real time with minimal latency.

Versatile and professional

Offering an extensive collection of 20 microphone emulations, the Universal Audio Sphere LX specialises in capturing both vocals and instruments with equal precision. Whether in a professional recording studio or mobile recording environment, its low self-noise and excellent dynamic range deliver remarkable accuracy for both musical and spoken applications. Apollo interface users will also benefit from Unison preamp emulation, which includes highly realistic emulations of vintage hardware such as the Telefunken ELA M 251 and Neve 1073 preamp - a great addition for professional producers and engineers seeking further creative options without compromising on performance in the studio.

About Universal Audio

Few manufacturers can draw upon a wealth of audio engineering experience comparable to that of Universal Audio. The company's founding father Bill Putnam, along with his friend Les Paul, have an admirable reputation as trend-setting music producers and developers of legendary analogue studio technology. Putnam recorded Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Sarah Vaughan, and was Duke Ellington's favourite sound engineer. He developed the famous 1176 Peak Limiter and distributed the Teletronix LA-2A level amplifier. This earned him a posthumous "Technical Grammy Award" in 2000. In 1999, Putnam's sons, Bill Putnam Jr. and James Putnam, re-founded Universal Audio, transferring their father's analogue vision and craftsmanship to the digital music world. Their product range includes audio interfaces, dedicated DSP farms, and a variety of plug-ins, as well as analogue hardware devices.

Precision and reliability

The Universal Audio Sphere LX emulates a wide variety of microphone types, including large and small-diaphragm condensers, tube and solid-state models, dynamic microphones, and even ribbon microphones. The dual-mode feature allows users to blend two different mic models, opening up a host of creative avenues and innovative recording techniques. Whether capturing vocals, instruments, or ambient room tones, the Sphere LX ensures a highly detailed and natural sound reproduction. Unlike the Sphere DLX, the LX is primarily designed for mono recording applications, focusing on a simplified workflow without stereo capabilities.
