UA Sphere DLX Modelling Microphone
The UA Sphere DLX is a flagship dual-capsule modeling microphone system from Universal Audio, designed to deliver the sound and behaviour of some of the most sought-after vintage microphones ever made. Combining advanced microphone modeling technology with premium hardware design, Sphere DLX gives engineers, producers, and artists access to a world-class microphone collection within a single recording system.
At the heart of the Sphere DLX is a precision dual-diaphragm condenser microphone paired with Universal Audio’s powerful microphone modeling software. Together, they accurately recreate the tonal response, proximity effect, polar patterns, and off-axis behaviour of legendary studio microphones used on countless classic recordings.
Sphere DLX allows users to change microphone models and polar patterns even after recording, providing unmatched flexibility during mixing and production. Stereo recording modes and advanced polar pattern control also make it a powerful tool for immersive recording techniques and room capture.
