The Universal Audio Sphere LX modeling microphone system gives you the sound of classic mics used by everyone from The Beatles and Beyoncé to Radiohead and Frank Sinatra, in a smaller, more affordable package. The Sphere LX condenser microphone features a variable dual-output polar pattern and advanced mic modeling technology, allowing you to record through 20 of the most legendary mics ever made.

Record Through 20 of the Most Coveted Mics Ever Made

Featuring 20 legendary mic models of Neumann, TELEFUNKEN, AKG, Sony and more, the Sphere LX gives your productions the most sought-after ribbon, condenser and dynamic microphones ever made. The Sphere LX lets you audition classic mics before, during and after recording with any interface, in any DAW. And when paired with an Apollo interface, you can do this with near-zero latency.

Easily tame room coloration for cleaner, more professional recordings using IsoSphere and its expert presets tailored for everything from your bedroom studio to popular isolation filters from sE Reflexion Filters, Aston Halo, Kaotica Eyeball and more.
