UA Sphere LX Modelling Microphone
The UA Sphere LX is a professional dual-capsule modeling microphone system from Universal Audio, designed to give creators access to the sound and behaviour of legendary studio microphones within a single versatile recording solution. Combining advanced microphone modeling technology with premium condenser microphone design, Sphere LX delivers exceptional flexibility for modern recording workflows.
Using a precision-engineered dual-diaphragm condenser capsule and powerful Sphere modeling software, the Sphere LX accurately recreates the tonal response, proximity effect, polar patterns, and off-axis characteristics of iconic vintage microphones used on countless professional recordings.
One of the system’s most powerful features is the ability to change microphone models and polar patterns even after recording, allowing engineers and producers to make tonal decisions during mixing instead of during tracking.
