Universal Audio Sphere DLX Modelling Microphone Overview

Stereo large-diaphragm condenser microphone that models the sound of 38 iconic dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics.

38 Iconic Mics in One

The Universal Audio Sphere DLX modelling microphone system offers producers and engineers the sound of legendary microphones. With a single Sphere DLX in your mic arsenal, you can record with the sound of 38 sought-after mics made by Neumann, Telefunken, Sony, AKG and more. The mics modelled by Sphere DLX have featured on recordings by renowned artists such as Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Radiohead, Beyoncé and more.

Whilst the Sphere DLX is a large-diaphragm condenser mic, it can also model ribbon and dynamic microphones as well as the distinctive sonic characteristics associated with those designs. Sphere DLX may become the only mic you need in your collection.

Ultimate Flexibility

The Sphere DLX goes beyond what can be achieved with a conventional microphone. You can audition different mic models to find the perfect one for your sound source before, during and after recording with any DAW and interface. When combined with a Universal Audio Apollo audio interface, you can audition mic types with near-zero latency.

Stereo Sound, One Mic

Universal Audio’s Sphere DLX features a dual-capsule design and can emulate a stereo mic setup with just one microphone. With one Sphere DLX in your arsenal, you can record drum overheads, pianos and more in glorious stereo. You can also use a different model for each channel to create a more characterful stereo image. Dual Mode lets you blend two mono mics to instantly achieve classic mic combinations that are often used on guitar cabs and snare drums.

Tame Room Sound

The UA Sphere DLX is primed for home studio recording thanks to IsoSphere, which tames room colouration for a more professional-sounding recording. IsoSphere provides expertly-designed presets that are tailored for a wide range of recording environments and popular isolation filters by brands such as sE.
